Exploratory analysis of blood alcohol concentration‐related technology use and drinking outcomes among young adults
Using mHealth technologies to moderate drinking without direct prompting from the research team or per-use incentives was related to less overall alcohol use and heavy drinking. This indicates potential real-world engagement with mHealth apps to assist with in-the-moment drinking. Normalizing mHealth technology use during drinking could help curb the public health crisis around harmful alcohol use in young adult populations.
