Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Episodic Future thinking (EFT)
Participants will receive up to 3 messages a day that include assessment and intervention messages.The messages will describe positive, non-alcohol related events at future time points to facilitate extension of temporal consideration toward future-focused perspectives.
Episodic Future thinking
During a visit with the study team, participants will identify personally-relevant reminders, or cues, that they will receive up to 3 messages a day via text-message over a two-week period.
The messages will describe positive, non-alcohol related events at future time points to facilitate extension of temporal consideration toward future-focused perspectives.
In addition, participants will have phone meetings (video or not) where health behaviors as well as survey information is noted and collected
Volitional choice (VC)
VC creates structured if-then plans to dismantle context-linked alcohol use. Participants will receive up to 3 messages a day that include assessment and intervention messages.
Volitional choice
Volitional choice creates structured if-then plans to dismantle context-linked alcohol use The messages sent over a two-week period facilitate alternative, healthier choices by identifying and linking risky cues with alternative actions. Participants will receive up to 3 messages a day for 14 days that include assessment and intervention messages.
In addition, participants will have phone meetings (video or not) where health behaviors as well as survey information is noted and collected.
Episodic Future thinking plus Volitional choice
Participants will receive both EFT and VC interventions with text messages.
