NCT ID NCT06624514
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a brief smartphone task could help women aged 18-25 who have experienced sexual assault reduce their alcohol use and risky sexual behavior. 46 women completed the task or a sham version over four days, then were followed up at one week and three months. The goal was to see if the task changed their automatic reactions to alcohol and condom images.
