Accountability Support Through Peer-Inspired Relationships and Engagement (ASPIRE) Trial

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Alcohol Consumption

In brief

This project aims to test the efficacy of a text message intervention, ASPIRE, designed to address cognitive and behavioral elements and modify exposure to peers that influence drinking behaviors. Young adults who are contemplating reducing their drinking will be recruited from a national sample and randomized to ASPIRE versus a text message intervention focused solely on cognitive and behavioral elements. We will measure effectiveness at 3, 6, and 12 months, study mechanisms driving behavior change, and identify which subgroups stand to benefit most.
