Summary

This study tests whether adding trauma-informed coping strategies and peer coaching to a standard mobile brief intervention helps young adults (ages 18-25) who drink heavily and have experienced interpersonal trauma reduce their alcohol use. 225 college students will be randomly assigned to the enhanced program, a standard brief intervention, or assessment only, and followed for 6 months. The goal is to see if the new approach is more effective and acceptable than current methods.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Trauma-informed brief intervention with peer coaching (behavioral)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more effective, scalable way to help young adults reduce heavy drinking and related problems by addressing underlying trauma.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (225 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not generalize widely. The intervention is brief and may not produce lasting changes.
