Summary

This study tested a fun, interactive game on Instagram called "2 College Truths and 1 Lie" to see if it could prevent or reduce drinking among first-year college students. About 392 incoming freshmen played the game, which corrects mistaken beliefs about how much peers actually drink. Researchers compared them to students who saw a standard social media campaign or no campaign at all, tracking alcohol use over 9 months.
