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 that's designed to help young adults with ADHD who engage in risky drinking. The app teaches strategies to improve self-control and awareness of your own behaviors. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and whether it actually helps reduce problem drinking.
Young adults with ADHD often struggle with impulse control, which can lead to risky drinking habits. This trial is testing whether a personalized smartphone app can be a practical way to help this group build better self-control and reduce harmful alcohol use.

You'll join a one-month study with three main steps. First, you'll complete a virtual baseline visit where researchers ask about your ADHD, drinking habits, and life experiences. Then you'll use the smartphone app daily for 31 days—half of participants will use the new TIPS app while the other half use a control app. Finally, you'll attend a follow-up virtual visit about a month later to answer similar questions and see if anything has changed.
