PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Past month (30 days)

Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire. This is a 21 item measure of alcohol-related consequences experienced by young adults. Participants indicate whether or not they have experienced each of the consequences in the past month (1 = yes, 0 = no). Scores range from 0 to 21 with higher scores indicated a greater number of consequences experienced. Citation: Kahler, C. W., Strong, D. R., \& Read, J. P. (2005).
