NCT ID NCT07557745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a mobile app called uSafeUS+ that aims to help college students drink less and lower their risk of sexual assault. Researchers will enroll 90 students aged 18-25 from participating universities. Participants will use the app for one month and complete surveys to see if they like it, use it often, and whether it helps them adopt safer behaviors.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a scalable tool to help college students reduce drinking and sexual assault risk in real time.

- This is a very small pilot study (90 participants) focused on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. The app may not work as hoped or may not be used consistently.
