About this study

Researchers are testing whether sending text messages at the right time can help prevent people from drinking too much alcohol. The trial will send targeted text messages to Airmen in Technical Training, timed to occur before, during, and after they have access to alcohol. This is a new approach to helping people reduce their alcohol consumption.
