Procedure
More detailed study procedures can be found in the project protocol (see Ref. Individuals who consented to take part in the intervention were randomized into three intervention conditions—mindfulness, perspective-taking, and control—, using the Qualtrics survey flow randomizer. As part of the intervention training session, participants underwent a brief instruction on how to respond to alcohol cues in daily life according to their respective condition. Details on the psychological distance training and the mindfulness instruction language development can be found in Supplement B. Training instructions for Study 1 and training videos for Study 2 are publicly available: The day following the in-person/online training, participants began a 28-day ecological momentary intervention and assessment protocol. Participants received twice-a-day reminders on how to respond to alcohol cues and responded to twice-a-day surveys measuring their alcohol use,  among other measures, for a total of 4 signals daily over 28 days. Intervention prompts with reminders on how to approach alcohol use, were sent at 2:00 pm and at 9:00 pm each day. Alcohol use surveys were sent at 8:00 and at 6:00 pm each day. See Fig.
