Summary

This study tests whether an app that gives parents personalized feedback about drinking norms can help reduce underage drinking among first-year college students. Over 2,000 incoming freshmen and their parents are taking part. Parents in the app group receive tailored quizzes, videos, and readings, while other groups get a standard handbook or a social norms email campaign. The goal is to see if the app leads to less drinking and fewer alcohol-related problems compared to the other approaches.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Personalized normative feedback app for parents
What this could lead to
If effective, this app could offer a scalable, low-cost way for colleges to reduce risky drinking among new students.
What could go wrong
The trial relies on self-reported drinking, which may be biased. Effects may be modest or not last beyond the first year.
