About this trial

The goal of the study is to examine alcohol use behaviors of young adults through the use of testing the feasibility of adding an innovative brief personalized alcohol biomarker feedback component (TAC feedback) to an existing efficacious personalized feedback intervention, eCHECKUP TO GO (eCTG), and how (if at all) the intervention impacts drinking behaviors in high-risk college students. The study will conduct a feasibility assessment of the TAC feedback component, and will also assess the effects of the eCTG + TAC at 6-months post-baseline relative to an eCTG only group.
