About this study
A total of 150 young adults (ages 21-29) will be randomized to receive a brief alcohol intervention (intended to reduce alcohol-related resource allocation (e.g., time and money spent on alcohol), alcohol consumption, and alcohol related consequences) or an assessment only control condition.
All participants will complete a 3 week monitoring period of daily surveys assessing time spent in various domains, alcohol use, personal goals, and money spent on alcohol and substance-free activities. Those in the intervention condition will receive weekly personalized information summarizing the previous week's resource allocation.
All participants will complete a 1 and 3 month follow up survey. Participants can earn up to $126 for completing all study components.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Resource AllocationBehavioural
Those in the intervention condition will receive weekly personalized information summarizing the previous week's resource allocation (e.g., personalized information on how they spent their time and money) in relation to their personal goals, interests, and alcohol use. They will also see a summary of how they spent their time and money in relation to their set goals for the week The information in the intervention feedback will be obtained from participant's responses to the daily surveys on how they spent their time and money each day. Reviewing the intervention feedback should take no longer than 10 minutes.
assessment only controlOther
participants will complete a 3 week monitoring period of daily surveys assessing time spent in various domains during the time, alcohol use, personal goals, and money spent on alcohol and substance-free activities. Each daily survey should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Standard drinks containing alcohol-
We will assess the number of standard drinks, containing alcohol in a typical week collected on the Daily Drinking Questionnaire DDQ; Collins et al., 1985; Kivlahan et al., 1990)
Measured: past 1 month
Alcohol-related problems
We will assess the number of alcohol-related consequences experienced using the Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index.
Measured: past 1 month
Alcohol Demand
Alcohol demand will be assessed with the Alcohol Purchase Task.
Measured: past 1 month
Time allocation
Time allocation will be assessed (Murphy et al.,2012) where participants will indicate, on average, how many hours they spend in a typical week in various domains including alcohol-related domains.
Measured: past 1 month
