Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial (CT) is to learn more about emerging adults' and their peers. Here, we will see how co-participating with a peer in health program might impact brain and behavior change over time. Eligible youth will be invited to come in for a "Participation Day," during which they and a peer will independently complete questionnaires. With a peer, they will then complete a short health program, and undergo a brain scan (fMRI) while completing activities. Our study team will reach out to each participant individually again 3, 6, and 12 months later to learn about health behaviors over time.

Interventions
Motivational interviewing with peer dyads starts with an open-ended exploration of the dyad's hazardous drinking behavior via personal stories about alcohol use. It includes a values clarification task and age-matched norms along with personalized feedback regarding the dyad's alcohol use. The goal of the session is to engage the dyad in a thoughtful conversation about drinking and the implications it may have on their lives, with an eye to bolstering and supporting inherent drive for behavior change.
