Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of two programs to prevent/reduce alcohol misuse among youth primary care patients. Depending on their study condition, youth will receive a brief web-based computer program or the web program + 8 weeks of supportive text messages. Parents/caregivers of youth are encouraged to use a freely available app to guide conversations with their child about drinking. This study will have significant impact by evaluating response to these scalable interventions which can be deployed widely in clinical care settings.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Alcohol Consumption

Higher score indicates worse outcomes.

- Change in Alcohol Related Consequences(3-, 6-, 9- and 12- months post baseline)
- Change in Other Drug Use(3-, 6-, 9- and 12- months post baseline)
- Change in Other Drug Use Consequences(3-, 6-, 9- and 12- months post baseline)
