About this study
Official title: Alcohol Metabolism and Disease Risk in Asians: Examining the Impact of Personalized Phenotypic/Genotypic Feedback on Early Drinking Trajectories
The goal of this study is to examine the effects of providing personalized information about behavioral, physical, and genetic factors that are associated with elevations in risk for some health problems. The main research question is: can we affect young adult behaviors through communication about these health-related risks? Participants will be asked to complete an in-person baseline session where they provide a DNA sample, complete online surveys, and do a brief interview. They will then receive one of several brief online information sessions and be followed in online surveys approximately every 3 months over the next 2 years.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PHEN feedbackBehavioural
Feedback on alcohol response (phenotype)
PHEN+GENE FeedbackGenetic

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| PHEN | Experimental | provided phenotypic feedback Receives: Behavioral: PHEN feedback |

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Susan Luczak, PhD (2137402203, luczak@usc.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Drinking frequency (time frame: up to 2 years post-intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
