Overview
Brief Summary
The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial that compares the effectiveness of an electronic personalized health screening app incorporating motivational feedback (i.e. "Check Yourself") to usual care among moderate to high risk alcohol users. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Check Yourself is more effective than usual care in reducing alcohol consumption and binge drinking and improving quality of care among adolescents receiving school-based health clinic services.
