Summary

Individuals will be recruited to participate in a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a prevention program aimed at reducing alcohol use among college students. If randomized to the intervention, participants will view personalized content based on their alcohol use and chosen identity and learn about various topics related to alcohol use, including ways to reduce their use. Control participants will be directed to a website where information regarding mental health and substance use may be found. Baseline mental health, alcohol use, and related constructs will be assessed. Participants will complete a 3-month follow-up survey to assess the efficacy of the tool in symptom reduction.
