This study focuses on reducing intimate partner violence (IPV) caused by drinking too much alcohol in young adults. Intimate partner violence means hurting someone you are in a relationship with. The study uses a just-in-time messaging system, which means sending texts to participants at the right time, like when they are drinking, to help them make better choices. It aims to see if these messages can help reduce drinking and violence.
To join, you must be 18-30 years old, drink alcohol about twice a week, binge drink (drink a lot at once) at least twice a month, be in a romantic relationship, and have a history of IPV in the past 3 months. Participants must also be okay with receiving text messages for 30 days.
- The study lasts for 30 days and involves receiving text messages.
- There are no exclusions, so anyone meeting the criteria can join.
