Summary

Background:

\- People respond differently to life events and how those events make them feel. They also respond differently to information about the how their actions affect their lives and health. Researchers want to learn more about these differences. In this study, researchers will look at how people respond to an event in their life. Researchers will also look at how people respond to information about how their actions can affect their health.

Objective:

\- To see how people respond differently to life events and information about alcohol and breast cancer.

Eligibility:

\- Women 18 and older who have never been diagnosed with cancer and who drank 5 or more alcoholic drinks in the past week.

Design:

* This study will take place online.
* Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 10 groups.
* Researchers will ask participants to take part in 2 small studies, 1 about Life Events and 1

about Alcohol and Breast Cancer.

* In the Life Events study, participants will write briefly about a time they felt very happy, fearful, angry, or surprised, or they will write about a room in their house. Then they will answer questions about that event. They also will write about a value that is or is not important to them.
* In the Alcohol and Breast Cancer study, participants will read a health message about the link between alcohol and breast cancer. Then they will answer questions about what they read and give their thoughts about alcohol and breast cancer.
* Both studies should take about 30 minutes.
