Study Background
Brown University is looking for individuals ages 18-29 who drink alcohol to participate in research studies about alcohol use among young adults. Participants must not currently attend a four-year college/university. Three studies are being conducted by our researchers.
POST is a study of the intersection between alcohol use and social media use. One part involves an individual interview, and one part involves an online survey and the option to provide a social media handle for researchers to review posts.
A-FRAME is a study to test a mobile app that personalizes feedback about one’s drinking. It involves an initial survey, follow-up surveys, and for some, 28 days of daily surveys with the option to view personalized feedback.
