Decisions during drinking (D3) is randomized clinical feasibility trial assessing whether health-related materials created for young adults who want to have more positive experiences if they decide to drink alcohol are acceptable and usable. Enrolled participants will be randomized to receive the health-related messages in 5-7 online modules over the 20-30 days or to only receive assessments. Those randomized to receive the intervention will also receive text-messages with health message content during the 20-30 days. After completing the intervention, participants will report on the usability and acceptability of the material, which is the main outcome. For secondary outcomes, participants in both the intervention and control will report on their drinking and drinking-related consequences in the post-intervention questionnaire (or 30 days after initial questionnaire for control participants) and 1 month later.

Usability of intervention
Usability of the intervention is assessed in the intervention group only using a 10-item scale with response options that range from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree"
Time frame: From invitation to the first intervention module to end of modules being available 37 days later
Acceptability of the intervention
Acceptability of the intervention is assessed only in the intervention group using a questionnaire of 11 items each of which is participants will provide as response between 1 "Strongly Disagree" to 7 "Strongly Agree".
Time frame: From invitation to the first intervention module to end of modules being available 37 days later
Feasibility of intervention
Feasibility will be assessed by the percentage of participants randomized to the intervention that complete the intervention and the 1 month follow-up assessment
Time frame: From invitation to the first intervention module to the end of the study 2 months later
Alcohol consumption
Alcohol consumption will be assessed using the Daily drinking questionnaire, which assesses the number of drinks consumed each day in a typical week in the past month
Time frame: From completion of baseline survey to 1 month follow-up approximately 67 days later
Alcohol related consequences
Past month alcohol related consequences will be assessed with 49 questions from several scales including the Rutgers Alcohol Problems Index, Young Adult Alcohol Problems Scale, and the Alcohol-Related Sexual Consequences. All questions except the Alcohol-Related Sexual Consequences are answered on a scale of 0 "Never" to 4 "More than 10 times". Alcohol-Related Sexual Consequences responses are 0 "No" and 1 "Yes" to indicate any occurrence in the past month.
Time frame: From completion of baseline survey to 1 month follow-up approximately 67 days later
