Summary
This study tests a smartphone app called Smart-T Alcohol that sends personalized messages to help homeless adults reduce their drinking. About 600 people from shelters in Dallas and Oklahoma City will either get the app plus usual care, or usual care alone. The goal is to see if the app lowers the number of drinks per week and heavy drinking days over 8 weeks.
