PROJECT SPACE (Study Pilot on Alcohol Construals Everyday)

Heavy alcohol use and HIV are still critical public health issues, and we need better ways to address them. Text messaging is a simple and convenient way to communicate, but not many programs have been designed specifically for young adult men who drink. 

We worked with a group of young adult men to co-develop a new text-messaging program called Gametime, which is all about helping people drink and have sex safely. In this study, we want to improve Gametime by seeing how easy and helpful it is for people to use. This research will ultimately help us create better programs for young people who drink!
