Balanced Lifestyle for Undergraduate Excellence - Mobile (Project BLUEM)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a text-message delivered approach for improving college adjustment and experience and reducing risky alcohol use in young adult college students. The study compares a text-message delivered brief motivational intervention for reducing alcohol use and increasing engagement in alcohol-free activities, to text-message delivered alcohol and nutrition education sessions. The investigators predict that individuals who receive the brief motivational intervention will report less alcohol use and fewer related problems 3 months following the intervention compared to those who receive the education sessions. The investigators also expect that these individuals will report greater engagement in alcohol-free activities compared to those who receive the education sessions.
