简要总结
This project aims to test the efficacy of an Instagram-based intervention for reducing heavy alcohol use. More specifically, the investigators will use a randomized controlled design to analyze differences in alcohol use and alcohol-related outcomes (e.g., alcohol-related consequences, etc.) as well as differences in the use of protective behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. Participants (80 Prolific users who report binge drinking) will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: intervention or control. Those who are randomized to the intervention condition will be invited to follow study Instagram pages, and those who are randomized to the control condition will be invited to complete the assessments only. The investigators hypothesize that there will be greater reductions in alcohol use, frequency, and consequences and greater frequency of use of mindfulness exercises and protective behavioral strategies among those in the intervention condition as compared to those in the control condition.
