What this research studies

Many young adults struggle with heavy drinking, cannabis use, and poor sleep, which can lead to accidents and other problems. This project aims to provide a combined support program designed to address these issues together. We want to see if this program can help young adults reduce their substance use, improve their sleep, and avoid negative consequences. The program will focus on practical strategies to make positive changes in daily life.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Young adults who experience heavy episodic drinking, cannabis use, and sleep difficulties would be ideal candidates for this program.

Not a fit: Patients who do not experience heavy alcohol or cannabis use or significant sleep impairment may not find this program relevant to their needs.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this program could help young adults reduce harmful substance use, get better sleep, and avoid accidents and other negative health and life consequences.

How similar studies have performed: While substance use and sleep interventions exist, this project explores a novel integrated approach specifically targeting the combined issues in young adults.
