Summary

This study tests a new mobile app that uses an avatar guide to help young adults (ages 18-29) who struggle with binge drinking and suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and if people will stick with it. Ten participants from the emergency department will try the app for 28 days, and researchers will check how well they follow the program.
