Building off the pilot-tested intervention, this study will test a refined version of the 6-week Personalized Feedback Intevention+Ecological Momentary Assessment (PFIcope+EMI) intervention as compared to Personalized Normative Feedback only (PNF) for Emerging Adults (EA) in a partial hospitalization program who drink alcohol to cope and binge drink. We will assess participants’ alcohol outcomes and psychiatric symptomatology at 6-weeks, 12-weeks, and 6-months to determine outcomes and feasibility/acceptability. Further, will explore mechanisms that may underlie the efficacy of the intervention for the PFIcope+EMI group utilizing the daily EMA data. We anticipate that this project will lead to the development of a well-specified, personalized, novel, technology-supported, just-in-time intervention for EA with negative effect who use alcohol to cope that can be tested in a larger multi-site trial.
