Web-Based Adolescent Motivational Enhancement Study

Web-Supported Adolescent Motivational Enhancement to Reduce Alcohol Use

The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial that compares the effectiveness of an electronic personalized health screening app incorporating motivational feedback (i.e. "Check Yourself") to usual care among moderate to high risk alcohol users. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Check Yourself is more effective than usual care in reducing alcohol consumption and binge drinking and improving quality of care among adolescents receiving school-based health clinic services.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Eligible individuals will be 13-18 years old who are able to read and comprehend English.
• Participants who indicate alcohol use consistent with moderate to high risk on the Check Yourself App.

Exclusion Criteria:

Individuals will be excluded from the study if:

• They do not meet age requirements
• Do not have a study visit at a participating school-based health clinic
• Lack the means to complete follow-up interviews (i.e. have neither telephone or internet access)
• Are not able to read or comprehend English
