Background summary
Only a minority of young adults make use of traditional prevention or counseling services for drinking-related problems. Digital interventions are known to effectively reduce risky drinking in young adults. However, there is a lack of tailored mobile interventions aiming to promote low-risk drinking by utilizing various lifestyle components and thus making use of a comprehensive intervention strategy suitable to young adults. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a self-guided mobile intervention that provides young adults a tool to tackle and prevent problem drinking by promoting low-risk drinking behaviors and provide optional modules targeting mood and sleep. Participants are randomly allocated to the intervention or the control condition receiving an educational brochure. It is hypothesized that this mobile intervention will effectively reduce alcohol consumption and binge-drinking frequency.
Study objective
It is hypothesized that this mobile intervention will effectively reduce alcohol consumption and binge-drinking frequency.

Intervention
Boozebuster includes a variety of interactive tools and modules based on evidence based behavioral change techniques, including Personalized Normative Feedback, motivational interviewing, goal setting, self-monitoring, protective behavioral strategies, and mindfulness. In addition, via ecological momentary assessments, participants will be able to monitor their daily alcohol consumption by means of the amount of standard drinks, their mood via daily mood ratings by means of a scale of one to ten and, their sleep quality via daily sleep quality ratings. Furthermore, participants will be able to monitor their progress on those three key behaviors (drinking, mood, sleep quality) via visual feedback given within the mobile application.
