Effect of a text message intervention to reduce hazardous drinking among injured patients discharged from a trauma ward: a randomized controlled trial

Mobile health text message intervention to reduce hazardous drinking Mobile phone text messages reduce dangerous patterns of alcohol consumption and could help prevent alcohol-related injuries. A trial carried out in New Zealand led by Sarah Sharpe at the University of Auckland examined the effect o...
