Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
CARES mobile app
Participants in this arm will receive 12 weeks of text messages and use of the smart phone mobile app that provides support for alcohol risk reduction.
CARES mobile smart phone app
The CARES smart phone mobile app contains a number of features to support safety while drinking and reduced alcohol consumption plus regular test messages for personal support
Alcohol Education
Those randomized to the control arm will be given access to an online alcohol education intervention; Check Your Drinking (CYD: www.CheckYourDrinking.net). CYD provides normative feedback on the user's drinking habits relative to his/her peers.
Check Your Drinking
Check Your Drinking is an online alcohol assessment that provides normative feedback on the user's drinking habits relative to his/her peers. Alcohol interventions that provide normative feedback are rated by the NIAAA Alcohol Intervention Matrix as effective and low cost, and with few administrative or structural barriers to implementation thus making it suitable for community colleges.
