First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a mobile health app designed to help young adults aged 18-25 reduce heavy drinking. 40 participants were randomly assigned to use the app or just complete surveys. Over 4 weeks, they received text message surveys to track drinking and engagement. The goal was to see if the app was satisfying and easy to use, not to cure or prevent alcohol misuse long-term.
