Spill it

August 24 2011

A feasibility study is underway by Karen Renner of Auckland University into a mobile phone based brief intervention designed to help young people (18-34 years) keep safe while they are out drinking with their friends.

SPILL IT which is copyrighted to Karen comprises a website where young drinkers can sign up and setup their messages and message schedules and an app for WP7 smart phones which lets young drinkers add to or change their message text and schedule from their phone, on-the-fly, as their plans change.

The expectation is that a safety intention prompt, arriving on their phone while they are drinking, will be a reminder and action cue to young drinkers to keep safe.
