Overview
Brief Summary
This is the first stage of a three-stage, NIH-funded study to develop and test initially a multi-modal intervention concerning blood/breath alcohol concentration for young adults. The multimodal intervention will be made up of brief telehealth counseling and psychoeducation and use of three mobile technologies to facilitate moderate drinking. In the first stage of the study, we will conduct formative research to obtain input from the study population, test initially the telehealth version of the brief counseling and psychoeducation and to develop a simple, "low tech" approach to coaching participants to use the three mobile technologies in typical drinking situations. Participation will last approximately one month.
