Overview
Brief Summary
The primary aims of this project are to determine the feasibility and acceptability of recruiting and retaining young adult binge drinkers online and using text messaging to provide weekly Goal Support (GS) or weekly GS + Coaching for Context-specific Peer Support (CCPS) on alcohol consumption. The secondary aims will determine effect sizes for GS and GS+CCPS groups relative to controls on alcohol consumption at 6- and 12-weeks to inform design of an adequately-powered trial.
