Summary

This study looks at whether a 20-minute writing task, called the Future Possible Self Task (FPST), can help high school seniors and recent graduates think differently about drinking and reduce alcohol misuse. About 468 participants will complete the writing exercise and answer questionnaires over a year. Researchers will compare different versions and doses of the task to see which works best.
