NCT ID NCT05609344
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether offering brief counseling in barbershops can help men in rural Arkansas drink less alcohol. About 611 men will take part, and researchers will track their drinking habits and mental health. The goal is to see if barbershops are a good place to reach men who might not otherwise get help.
