Accountability Support Through Peer-Inspired Relationships and Engagement (ASPIRE) Trial (NCT06617702)

ASPIRE to Change: Leveraging Text Messaging Peer Support Coaching to Mitigate Hazardous Alcohol Consumption in Non-Collegiate Young Adults

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: Stanford University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This project aims to test the efficacy of a text message intervention, ASPIRE, designed to address cognitive and behavioral elements and modify exposure to peers that influence drinking behaviors. Young adults who are contemplating reducing their drinking will be recruited from a national sample and randomized to ASPIRE versus a text message intervention focused solely on cognitive and behavioral elements. We will measure effectiveness at 3, 6, and 12 months, study mechanisms driving behavior change, and identify which subgroups stand to benefit most.
