Summary
This study aims to develop a brief intervention that uses information from a lab-based cue reactivity protocol to create personalized feedback targeting high-risk alcohol use among young adults who drink alcohol. The intervention provides feedback on individuals' drinking desire, mood, willingness to drink, and alcohol demand by comparing scores before and after viewing and smelling an alcoholic beverage in the lab session. Other psycho-educational alcohol-related content is also provided in the intervention including strategies for decreasing exposure to cues that increase drinking desires and how to cope with increased desire to drink. This brief intervention is used in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing young adults who receive the brief, online intervention to those who did not receive the brief, online intervention. Participants in both groups complete baseline, lab-based cue reactivity protocol, 2-week follow-up and 3-month follow-up.
