Primary outcomePrimary: Drinking Motives Questionnaire-Revised (DMQ-R) Coping Motive — 2.15 score on a scale — p=<.05

Summary

The investigators propose to enhance our existing coping motive-specific normative feedback intervention (PFIcope intervention) by capitalizing on EMA/EMI technology to pair real-time affective monitoring with tailored real-time relapse prevention texts for individuals with anxiety and depression who drink to cope. The goals of the PFIcope+EMI study are to help individuals to identify motives for drinking and to utilize alternate coping strategies for negative affect in place of alcohol.
