Study Design Over a one year period, this Psychoneurological Department based study will use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. Also, the Psychological Faculty of Kyiv National Medical University. Eligible young adults will complete a screening survey. Given the fact that we plan to include patients and students, we chose this subject pool for the study because it combines the psychiatric ward and base of students at the university. Those with risky drinking will be enrolled in the RCT and randomized to conditions and stratified by patient/student and given either the brief motivational intervention or the control brochure. A follow-up assessment will be conducted at 3 months.
