Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in past week consumption of alcohol, calculated from the AUDIT ( Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) questions 1, 2, and 3, measured at baseline (on point of app download) and at one month follow-up. An intention-to-treat approach will be used such that those who are lost to follow-up will be retained in the primary analysis and assumed to be drinking at baseline levels. | — |
