Summary

This study looks at how young adults (ages 18-25) and a friend respond to a health program together. Participants will fill out surveys, do a short health activity, and have a brain scan (fMRI) to see how their brains sync up. Researchers will check in at 3, 6, and 12 months to see if this affects alcohol use. The goal is to understand how peer support might lead to healthier choices.
