Reducing binge drinking in at-risk young adults using a computer-delivered intervention delivered through text messaging: Preliminary findings
Conduct evaluation related to programs, research, and other areas of practice
Learning Objectives:
Describe the baseline features of young adults with hazardous drinking behavior who present to the Emergency Department. Demonstrate young adult adherence to alcohol-related text messaging dialog prompts. Assess the relationship between pre-weekend drinking plans and actual alcohol consumption among young adults. Evaluate whether prompting young adults to set pre-weekend drinking reduction goals results in reductions in binge episodes.
