Game-Based Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Use Among Youth

This is a randomized controlled trial to learn if the Singularities, a game-based intervention, works to reduce alcohol-related harms among youth. It will also learn if Singularities reduces alcohol use behaviors and improves alcohol protective behavioral strategies, adaptive coping skills, and healthy social media use. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Singularities reduce the frequency of experiencing alcohol-related harms and alcohol use behaviors? * Does Singularities improve alcohol protective behavioral strategies, adaptive coping skills, and healthy social media use? Researchers will compare Singularities to an attention control program, Food4Thought, a game-based intervention about nutrition, physical activity, and teen well-being, to see if Singularities works to reduce alcohol-related harms. Participants will: * Partake in either Singularities or Food4Thought, both of which will be completed over the course of one month * Take 4 online surveys over the course of one year * Complete an optional online interview after the surveys
