Summary

This study tests whether giving first-year college students personalized, technology-delivered feedback about their drinking and sexual behavior can reduce alcohol misuse and risky sex. 600 students from two universities will receive either standard feedback or a more dynamic weekly version. The goal is to create a program that colleges can easily use to protect student health.
