Reset Challenge: See if 30 days without alcohol reduces high-risk drinking

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

This is a single-arm study testing a 30-day mHealth abstinence challenge designed to help adults with high-risk drinking reduce their alcohol use. Participants will use a mobile platform to screen, engage with on-demand, evidence-based interventions, and report outcomes. The study will assess feasibility and preliminary efficacy, including whether greater self-efficacy for stopping drinking predicts 30 days of abstinence, and will explore the use of an alcohol sensor as an objective outcome in a subset. Findings will inform whether the Reset Challenge can be scaled as a practical intervention for reducing cancer risk associated with heavy drinking.
