ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help reduce violence in romantic relationships that can happen when people drink alcohol. Researchers believe that sending timely text messages to young adults right before or during drinking can help prevent these incidents. The goal of the study is to see if these messages can help lower both alcohol use and the chances of committing violence against a partner.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 30 years old, drink alcohol at least twice a week, and have a history of heavy drinking and violence in your romantic relationships recently. If you join, you will receive text messages for 30 days aimed at helping you manage your drinking and relationship behavior. This trial is currently looking for volunteers, and there are no specific exclusions that would prevent someone from participating. It’s a chance to potentially contribute to a solution while also receiving support.
