This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The GODDESS study is testing a smartphone app called mHealth-Women's CoOp that helps young women reduce heavy alcohol use and sexual risk behaviors. Some participants will use the app alone, while others will also join virtual peer support groups through the app. The study will measure whether the app helps women drink less, take HIV prevention medication (called PrEP), and make safer sexual choices.
Young African American women face higher rates of alcohol misuse and HIV risk. Researchers want to see if a mobile app with peer support can help women make healthier choices and protect themselves from HIV in a way that fits easily into their daily lives.

If you join, study staff will install the app on your smartphone. You'll use the app to learn about reducing alcohol use and sexual risk. Depending on which group you're assigned to, you may also join virtual peer group meetings with other women. The study will check in with you at 3 and 6 months to see how you're doing and may ask about your health, alcohol use, and sexual health.
