Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

MiREA-AC is an expanded smartphone intervention that adds cannabis content, an improved user interface, and administrative-reporting information to an evidence-based alcohol app. The program is delivered as nine modular features over a two-week period (intro video, daily log, virtual coach, texts, personalized feedback, gaming/learning, strategies, and where to go). The study starts with alpha theater and field testing at two campuses (n=10) followed by a multisite pilot feasibility trial across six U.S. campuses (n=50) to gather usability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy data. Results will inform refinement, commercialization planning, and broader dissemination strategies.
