This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a smartphone app called TIPS (Training Inhibitory Control Using Personalized Strategies) designed specifically for young adults ages 18–25 who have ADHD and engage in heavy drinking. The app aims to help you become more aware of your symptoms, improve your ability to control impulses, and reduce risky drinking patterns. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and actually works.
Young adults with ADHD often struggle with impulse control, which can make risky drinking more likely. There aren't many tools designed specifically for this group, so this trial is testing whether a personalized smartphone app can fill that gap and help people make healthier choices.

You'll attend a virtual baseline visit where researchers ask about your ADHD symptoms, drinking habits, and other aspects of your life. Then you'll use either the TIPS app or a control app on your smartphone for 31 days, starting the first Friday after your baseline visit. Finally, you'll complete a virtual follow-up visit where you'll answer similar questions to see if anything has changed. The study is designed to be simple and fit into your everyday routine.
