Second Young Adult Naturalistic Alcohol Study (YANAS-2)
This study involves completion of questionnaires, computer-based cognitive tasks and an
alcohol drinking session. Participation in this study consists of an initial, in-person
screening appointment, 4 brief daily appointments at the research office, an alcohol
drinking session at a local bar and a follow-up appointment 1-3 days after the alcohol
drinking session.
Participants who are found to be eligible in the screening phase will then complete a daily
appointment for 4 days out of a 5-day period (i.e., there will be 1 day out of the 5 on
which they will not attend an appointment). Each appointment will last 20 minutes, on
average and consist of a questionnaire and computer-based cognitive task. On the day of the
fourth appointment, participants will complete an alcohol drinking session. The alcohol
drinking session begins at 4pm and lasts until at least midnight.
Participants in this study will be young adults between the ages of 21-25, who regularly
drink alcohol and are not currently seeking treatment for alcohol use. Seventy-two
participants will complete this study.

positive BAC, they will be allowed to reschedule and participate at another time,
however if they blow a second positive BAC, they will be excluded from this study and
offered referrals for alcohol treatment.

inordinately slow fashion
- A body mass index lower than 18.5 or greater than 35.
