Summary

This study looks at whether helping college students set personal goals for using protective strategies (like pacing drinks or eating before drinking) can reduce risky drinking and related problems. About 300 students aged 18-25 who drink weekly will be split into three groups: one gets basic information, another picks strategies to use, and the third also sets specific goals. Researchers will track changes in drinking habits and consequences over two weeks.
