Summary

This study tests a 'Drinking Dashboard' that gives young adults weekly personalized feedback on their alcohol use and blackout risks. Participants are 18–30 years old who binge drink and have had alcohol-induced memory loss in the past month. The goal is to see if this simple tool can reduce heavy drinking and blackout frequency.

What this could lead to
If effective, this tool could help young adults reduce heavy drinking and prevent alcohol-induced blackouts.
What could go wrong
