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. Two studies are being conducted by our researchers.
POST is a study of the intersection between alcohol use and social media use. It involves a one-hour individual interview over Zoom.
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.

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.

Additional Information
The long-term goals of these studies are to understand drinking behavior among young adults of various backgrounds, and to find ways to help people who drink avoid the negative consequences of alcohol. While we are interested in learning from all young adults, we want to be sure to increase representation of those who are not currently enrolled in 4-year college and who have not earned a 4-year degree, because this group has traditionally been left out of both research and intervention efforts.
You may qualify for one of these studies if you meet the following criteria:
Between 18-29 years old
Drink alcohol
Do not currently attend a four-year college
Post about alcohol on social media
- Able to attend a one hour Zoom interview for $50
Each study includes the following:
POST interview:
A single virtual, one hour, one-on-one interview.
AFRAME:
This study involves a virtual onboarding appointment and a baseline survey. This is followed by 28 days of brief daily surveys (~3 minutes) and the option to view feedback about your drinking following each drinking day. There is a survey at the end of 28 days and a survey again 3 months later.
As a participant, you can receive $50 for participating in POST and up to $138 for participating in A-FRAME.
There is no cost for you to participate in our research study.
