Summary
This pilot study tests whether a short, peer-led counseling session can reduce binge drinking among university students in Romania. About 120 students who drink heavily will receive either a 15-20 minute motivational interview from a trained peer or no intervention. Researchers will measure feasibility, changes in drinking habits, and attitudes over three months.
