Summary

This study tested a smartphone app called CampusGANDR that delivers personalized feedback about alcohol use through a game about college life. Over 1,100 first-year students played the game for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if the game could correct students' misperceptions about peer drinking and reduce their own alcohol use. The approach aims to make feedback less off-putting and more effective, especially for heavier drinkers.
