Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
After providing informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned to receive the mobile health intervention or control surveys only.
Participants will attend one online study visit to enroll in the study and be assigned to their study arm. All subsequent study activities will be completed asynchronously. Participants will then receive text message prompts and/or surveys to their personal cellphone either Wednesday or Thursday through Sunday for four consecutive weeks. Participants will receive a post-test survey 30 days after their final weekly survey.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mobile Health Intervention
Participants will receive access to the mobile health intervention. This includes access to an online dashboard which includes a drink counter, ability to track the number of drinks consumed over the course of the study, ability to set drinking-related goals for oneself, and alcohol-related resources. Participants in the intervention will also receive tailored messages during drinking episodes which target contextual factors to reduce alcohol use.
Mobile Health Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Use Among Young Adults
The mobile just-in-time adaptive intervention consists of 1) a digital participant dashboard and 2) tailored messages delivered to the participant's cellphone addressing the individual and ecological contexts of alcohol use.
The web-based intervention dashboard includes: 1) a drink counter for participants to log the number and type of drinks (e.g., beer, wine, mixed drink) they consume in a drinking occasion; 2) a calendar which summarizes the number of days on which a participant has consumed alcohol and the number of drinks consumed over the study period, broken out by drink type; 3) a log where participants can set drinking-related goals and update their progress on those goals; and 4) national and local substance use resources.
Participants will receive messages tailored to their drinking situation and ecological context during high-risk drinking times.
No-contact control
Participants will receive only morning surveys and the 30-day post-test survey.
