Summary
This pilot study tests whether a combination of chat-based text messaging and an online education hub can reduce alcohol consumption and binge drinking in teenagers. Researchers in Hong Kong will enroll 100 adolescents aged 12-18 who have had alcohol in the past year. The program includes a game that teaches about alcohol risks through real-life scenarios. The main goal is to see if it cuts the number of drinking days over three months.
