Scientists use phone games to unlock why drinks lead to bad decisions

NCT ID NCT06579521

Summary

This study aimed to understand how alcohol affects attention and leads to risky behavior. Researchers had 92 young adults complete phone-based attention tasks before and after drinking in a lab, and then tracked them for eight weekends using a phone app. The goal was to test if these phone tasks could reliably measure how alcohol narrows focus and contributes to poor decision-making in real-world settings.
