Participants will be assessed both using a computer and using their phone. However, they will not receive an intervention at the start of the study and will only be using their phone for ecological assessment only data collection.
Participants will take a computerized BMI with known efficacy, the college drinker's check up, and will be followed up. Participants in this condition will interact with their phone only for assessment purposes.
Participants will take a computerized BMI with known efficacy, the college drinker's check up, and will also take a computerized intervention developed to increase the use of protective behavioral strategies during drinking (Protective Behavioral Strategies Intervention). Participants in this condition will interact with their phone only for assessment purposes.
Participants in this group will not take a single-session intervention at baseline, but will be interacting with their phones during drinking occasions to promote protective behavioral strategy use (Ecological Momentary Intervention).
