Study Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, participants will be asked to wear a wrist alcohol biosensor for 30 days and report alcohol use using a ecological momentary assessment (EMA) app. A subset of the sample will be micro-randomized to test two engagement strategies--reciprocity and personalized feedback via the eWrapper app to promote their engagement with the biosensor.
Detailed Description
YPLWH (N = 160, 136 after 15% attrition, 18-29 years of age, estimated to include 73% male, 26% female, 1% transgender, 70% racial and ethnic minorities) will be asked to wear a wrist alcohol biosensor (BACtrack Skyn) for 30 days and report their alcohol use using daily ecological momentary assessment (EMA). A subset of the sample will also be assigned to use an app called the eWrapper app that is a game app designed to promote engagement with the Skyn sensor via reciprocity and personalized feedback.

Arms & Interventions
Assigned to eWrapper App
Participants will have access to the eWrapper app while wearing the Skyn sensor for 30 days.
Intervention: eWrapper-Engagement strategies to facilitate alcohol biosensor wearing (Behavioral)
Not Assigned to eWrapper App
Participants will not have access to eWrapper app while wearing the Skyn sensor for 30 days.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Engagement in Biosensor Wearing
Time Frame: 30 days
The percentage of Skyn sensor wearing will be the primary outcome. We will calculate the percentage of time participants wear the sensor during the 30 days, and compare whether this differs between those who have access to the eWrapper vs. those who do not.
Secondary Outcomes
- Feasibility/Acceptability of Biosensor Wearing(30 days)
- Feasibility/Accessibility of eWrapper(30 days)
