Control
The control group spent 60 minutes on an online education session (Lilly for Better Health) directed at other health behaviors besides alcohol. The site provides practical tips on general well-being such as healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management, as well as provides information on managing health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and depression. Their email 2 weeks later contained only a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys. Lilly for Better Health: This is an online education session directed at other health behaviors besides alcohol. The site provides practical tips on general well-being such as healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management, as well as provides information on managing health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and depression. It was not expected to influence alcohol use.
Intervention Only
Participants navigated through Alcohol 101 Plus (TM) for 60 minutes. Their email 2 weeks later contained only a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys. Alcohol 101 Plus (TM): It is a combination of several intervention components, including alcohol education, personalized feedback, attitude-focused strategies, and skills training. It also included a virtual bar, where participants provide information such as sex, weight, and state so that the program can provide tailored information on blood alcohol content (BAC) as well as state regulations regarding legal limits. The program provides updated BACs based upon choices about what to consume and how quickly to consume it. The intervention is highly interactive, with text, photos, videos, and narratives for fictional students with decision points where the participant chooses what the fictional student should do. It is a non-linear environment, where participants choose which sections of the website to explore.
Intervention-plus-Booster

Importantly, their email 2 weeks later contained a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys, plus personalized feedback based on participant reported perceived alcohol norms, actual alcohol norms, and reported harm reduction strategies.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Past 2 weeks, reported at Baseline assessment (pre-intervention)

Participant self-report on the Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (YAACQ; Read, Kahler, Strong, \& Colder, 2006), which assesses alcohol-related problems experienced by the participant. Total scores are created by summing all individual items, and range from 0 to 48, with higher values representing more problems experienced (i.e., worse outcomes).
