The SFAS session includes : a) discussion of life goals, b) discussion of associations between alcohol and drug use, goals, and substance-free activities; c) a graph depicting the participant's ratings of the relative importance of various aspects of their life and how their actions in the past week have been consistent with these priorities; d) personalized feedback on recent time allocation to activities across life domains, and a discussion of any changes the participant would like to make; e) feedback on symptoms of stress, anxiety and discussion of adaptive coping strategies; f) discussion of enjoyable substance-free activities and hobbies and substance-free recreational activity suggestions tailored to individual's interests and neighborhood; g) a goal setting exercise for specific behavior change plans; h) a Future Thinking Writing Exercise. Participants will receive weekly text-message based booster prompts for four weeks after their SFAS session.

The clinician will begin by establishing the credibility of the session by providing the participant with the rationale that developing relaxation or mindfulness training strategies can reduce stress and enhance wellness. The clinician will then lead the participant through a diaphragmatic breathing exercise, followed by a progressive muscle RT protocol, and then a brief breath-counting (mindfulness) exercise. The session will conclude with a brief discussion of additional stress and anxiety management strategies (e.g., apps to monitor heartrate and breathing). Participants will be asked about their reaction to the techniques and, if interested, encouraged to commit to a specific plan for practicing these techniques.

This condition will not include any clinical contact other than a brief (2-3 minute) discussion with the research assistant (RA) who completed the assessment session and who will describe the educational handout. This condition is meant to approximate a low-threshold public health-level approach to providing referral information and some of the content included in the BAI+SFAS condition but without any of the personalized information or MI/clinical contact. Thus, participants will receive information on risks associated with alcohol and drug misuse, strategies for reducing use/problems, and strategies for managing stress and setting and follow-through with achievable goals. The handout will also include links to hotlines, websites, and apps related to these domains. This condition will not include booster contact.

The Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (BYAACQ) questionnaire asks about negative events over the past month (e.g., neglected obligations, driving after drinking). Research has shown that the BYAACQ is reliable yet sensitive to changes in alcohol use, has high internal consistency, and includes common but less severe consequences.

Participants report past month frequency and rate the enjoyment of 16 activities that are substance free vs. substance involved. Frequency and enjoyment ratings are multiplied to obtain a cross product that reflects reinforcement derived from the activity, and the relative reinforcement value of alcohol (R-ratio) is computed for analysis [(alcohol-related total / (alcohol-free total + alcohol-related total)]. Participants also report the number of hours spent engaging in several activity categories during a typical week in the past month (work, exercise, drinking, recreation). This information is used to generate the initial SFAS feedback on time allocation and potential alternatives to drinking and, at follow-up, will evaluate whether the interventions resulted in increased participation in substance-free activities, increased substance-free reinforcement, and decreased proportionate substance-related reinforcement relative to the control condition (R-ratio).

This questionnaire asks participants to report how many standard drinks they would consume across 20 prices ($0 to $20) in an imaginary drinking setting, which yields multiple observed and derived indices reflecting sensitivity to price changes that correspond with actual alcohol use. Elasticity of demand and intensity (consumption at $0) will be used for analysis. Relative insensitivity to price changes ("inelastic" demand) is related to risky drinking and alcohol problems, and intensity has incremental utility to predict alcohol use disorder symptoms beyond drinking practices. Consistent with previous research, alcohol demand will be evaluated as a mediator of treatment outcomes.

The DASS is a reliable and valid self-report survey designed to measure symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Each of the three DASS scales contains seven items and participants are asked to use 4-point scales to rate the extent to which they have experienced each emotional state over the past week; scores for depression, anxiety and stress are calculated by summing the scores. For the purpose of this study, we will only include the depression and anxiety subscale items. Previous research indicates that the BAI+SFAS is associated with decreases in DASS scores, and we will evaluate DASS subscale scores as a secondary outcome and mediator of treatment effects.

The SSRQ is a reliable and valid measure of the extent to which individuals are able to organize their behavior around the pursuit of goals and has been shown to mediate the drinking reductions associated with the SFAS. We will examine the SSRQ as a secondary intervention outcome and mediator.
