Overview
Brief Summary
This project aims to test the efficacy of a text message intervention, ASPIRE, designed to address cognitive and behavioral elements and modify exposure to peers that influence drinking behaviors. Young adults who are contemplating reducing their drinking will be recruited from a national sample and randomized to ASPIRE versus a text message intervention focused solely on cognitive and behavioral elements. We will measure effectiveness at 3, 6, and 12 months, study mechanisms driving behavior change, and identify which subgroups stand to benefit most.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Binge Drinking Days (BDD)
Time Frame: 3, 6, and 12 months
We define BDD as a day when a woman reports 4 or more standard drinks or a man reports 5 or more standard drinks, as this equates to the alcohol consumption that raises blood alcohol concentration to 0.08 g/dl or above.
Secondary Outcomes
- Negative Alcohol Consequences (NAC) Scale Score(3, 6 and 12 months)
