Study procedure and intervention reminders. We conducted two randomized experiments which we refer to as Study 1 and Study 2. a. Young adults (Study 1: N = 108; Study 2: N = 218), recruited across two urban university sites in the Northeastern United States, completed online surveys and were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions to complete a psychological training (in-person Study 1; or virtual Study 2) on how to respond to alcohol cues. b. Following the training, participants underwent a 28-day smartphone intervention in which they received two intervention reminder texts a day and two texts assessing their alcohol use. Participants in the mindfulness and perspective-taking conditions, received active intervention reminders on one week and control reminders the following week, with week order counterbalanced across participants. c. Reminder text messages corresponding to condition assignment and week.
