Summary
This study tested a program where parents of incoming college students received text messages with tips to talk to their kids about alcohol. The goal was to see if these messages could prevent or reduce drinking among first-year students. About 276 parent-student pairs took part, with parents getting either the new text-message program or standard written materials. Researchers then compared drinking habits and related problems between the two groups over six months.
