Filter by:This study is being completed to pilot prevention methods to promote wellness and reduce risky behaviors, including the use of substances such as alcohol and other drugs. This study will help the study team learn about ways of delivering this information that is both appealing and helpful to young adults.
The proposed study will address a critical knowledge gap: there are no evidence-based smartphone apps for reducing young adult drinking. The purpose of the study is to test alcohol-related smartphone applications designed to provide assistance during actual drinking situations to help young adults reduce their drinking. It is the researchers hypothesis that participants will self-administer less alcohol when using the experimental app with feedback.
The objective of this proposal is to advance medication development for alcohol use disorder by examining the efficacy and mechanisms of action of minocycline, a neuroimmune modulator, as a potential treatment. This study has important clinical implications, as the available treatments for alcohol use disorder are only modestly effective and testing novel medications is a high research priority.
This study evaluates the effect of changes in the range of drinks offered in vending machines in schools on the sugar intake of pupils via drinks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a text-message delivered approach for improving college adjustment and experience and reducing risky alcohol use in young adult college students. The study compares a text-message delivered brief motivational intervention for reducing alcohol use and increasing engagement in alcohol-free activities, to text-message delivered alcohol and nutrition education sessions. The investigators predict that individuals who receive the brief motivational intervention will report less alcohol use and fewer related problems 3 months following the intervention compared to those who receive the education sessions. The investigators also expect that these individuals will report greater engagement in alcohol-free activities compared to those who receive the education sessions.
High volume drinking by young adults has proven resistant to change, so new approaches are needed. We adapt a theory-based attitude change strategy for use in alcohol prevention. This research tests the impact of brief writing and advocacy activities on subsequent drinking and negative consequences.
The study evaluates the relative merit of a multi-component PFI presented in the traditional simultaneous delivery (i.e., all components at once) versus a sequential format, wherein individual PFI components are delivered one at a time over several weeks to minimize time and attention demands for each component.
To compare responses to acute oral doses of ethanol in healthy young adults who experience mainly stimulant subjective effects from the drug or mainly sedative effects.
This study tests the optimization and delivery feasibility of personalized feedback interventions to address harmful alcohol use among college students.
To evaluate the relationship of extraversion to both the acute subjective and behavioral effects of alcohol, and the neural reactivity to the anticipation of reward.
