Treatments Being Tested

BEHAVIORAL

Alcohol and Breast Cancer Risk Messages

Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention or control arm. In the intervention arm, participants will receive the co-created intervention content. The investigators co-created the intervention content, including visuals and text, through focus groups with young adult women and refined the draft content based on additional feedback from focus groups, thereby ascertaining the views of young adult women. The intervention content aligns with a conceptual framework and includes messaging with the following themes: 1) Risks of breast cancer from alcohol consumption; 2) Efficacy content promoting behavior change; 3) Relevance to young adult women; 4) Mechanisms through which alcohol consumption increases breast cancer risk; 5) Exposing the alcohol industry's deceptive marketing practices; 6) Comparisons to other behavioral risk factors for cancer.

BEHAVIORAL

Skin Cancer Risk Messages

Participants in the control arm will receive text only content about skin cancer risk and prevention. This is based on intervention trials in other cancer prevention areas (e.g., tobacco) where the investigators used this type of control, provides a contact-matched comparison relative to the intervention arm, and ensures consistency of the protocol (e.g., timing of completion and content of measures to be completed) across the trial arms.
