What is Project Daily?
- Project Daily is a voluntary Brown University research study conducted by researchers in the School of Public Health.
- This research is built upon the observation that alcohol use in young adults often occurs in social settings with peers.
- Our goal is to investigate the observations and experiences of young adults who are exposed to peers’ drinking.
- We are interested in what people notice about their friends’ behavior, how they react, and what aspects of the situation affect those reactions.
- Participants in the study are compensated for completing short morning and evening surveys on their smartphones every day for two weeks.
- This research is reviewed and approved by the Brown University Institutional Review Board (Study Protocol #00000022).
**You don’t have to drink alcohol to participate**
