What this trial studies

This study aims to address binge drinking behavior among university students by utilizing a smartphone application. The intervention involves blood microsampling to monitor alcohol consumption and its effects. The study targets students aged 18 to 25 who exhibit binge drinking patterns, providing them with tools to better understand and manage their alcohol use. By focusing on a demographic that is often reluctant to seek help, the study seeks to create a more accessible intervention for this public health issue.
