Summary
In a randomized trial of 448 adults treated for injuries in Moshi, Tanzania, researchers compared usual care with PPKAY, a brief nurse-led counseling session supported by text messages. After three months, the PPKAY group reported about 1.2 fewer binge-drinking days per four weeks than the usual-care group, though self-reported outcomes mean the results should be interpreted with caution.
