Text Message

Maternal-Focused Message: When randomized to receive a maternal-focused message, participants will receive a message that is focused on the transition to motherhood and the joys and challenges of caring for a newborn. Drinking-Focused Message: When randomized to receive a drinking-focused message, participants will receive a message that is focused on reducing alcohol use. All messages of both types are designed to map onto behavior change techniques that are empirically supported for alcohol use.
