Study of a 30-Day Mobile Health Reset Challenge to Reduce High-Risk Alcohol Drinking for Cancer Prevention

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate a 30-day mobile Health mHealth Reset Challenge designed to reduce high-risk drinking, which is linked to increased risks of gastrointestinal and breast cancers. The study focuses on adults with regular alcohol use and explores whether improving confidence in quitting alcohol relates to achieving abstinence. It also investigates the feasibility of using an alcohol sensor as an objective measure in some participants. Participants will take part in a single 30-day alcohol abstinence challenge inspired by community programs like Dry January. Before and during the challenge, they will complete daily surveys tracking alcohol use, with additional follow-up surveys at 1 and 3 months after finishing the challenge. The study does not include a comparison group and focuses on behavior change through this intervention. During the study, participants will regularly report their alcohol consumption through surveys, and some may use an alcohol sensor to provide objective data. Researchers will measure the feasibility of the intervention, including rates of enrollment and completion, and assess alcohol abstinence and weekly consumption. Follow-up continues for up to three months after the challenge to evaluate sustained abstinence and self-efficacy related to quitting alcohol.
