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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: behavioral intervention (personalized feedback and dynamic feedback)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide an easy-to-use program that colleges can adopt to help students make safer choices about drinking and sex.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. Results depend on students' willingness to change habits, and the effect may be modest or short-lived.
