Help researchers learn more about the experiences young adults have with alcohol and cannabis in their everyday life. Researchers at Brown University are interested in understanding substance use behavior (particularly alcohol and cannabis use behavior) in daily life among young adults. This study is focused on what is happening around people when they engage in certain behaviors (i.e., heavier drinking, mixing alcohol and cannabis), and what happens to individuals after they engage in these behaviors. This study will employ a new, wrist-worn sensor device to measure alcohol use. Findings from this study may contribute to more resources for young adults.

Once enrolled, you will receive training on two smartphone apps that you will use during the study. Then, you will be asked to complete three, annual data collection periods ("bursts"), each lasting 28 days. The first is now, the second will be one year from now, and the third will be two years from now. Before each burst, you will receive training and you will complete an initial set of questionnaires online.
