Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Decisions during drinking (D3) is randomized clinical feasibility trial assessing whether health-related materials created for young adults who want to have more positive experiences if they decide to drink alcohol are acceptable and usable. Enrolled participants will be randomized to receive the health-related messages in 5-7 online modules over the 20-30 days or to only receive assessments. Those randomized to receive the intervention will also receive text-messages with health message content during the 20-30 days. After completing the intervention, participants will report on the usability and acceptability of the material, which is the main outcome. For secondary outcomes, participants in both the intervention and control will report on their drinking and drinking-related consequences in the post-intervention questionnaire (or 30 days after initial questionnaire for control participants) and 1 month later.
