Summary

This trial aims to see if a personalized feedback program can help reduce risky substance use in young adults aged 18-25 years.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 18-25 living in the U.S. who speak English and are willing to give informed consent. It's not open to those outside this age range, non-U.S. residents, or anyone unwilling to agree formally to participate.
What is being tested?
The study is examining a new personalized feedback program designed to help reduce risky substance use among emerging adults. Participants will complete this intervention program aimed at lowering their chances of developing substance use disorders.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves an addiction risk feedback program rather than medication, traditional physical side effects are not expected; however, participants may experience emotional or psychological responses during the process.
