This trial examines the effectiveness of a novel neurodevelopmentally informed intervention - Adolescent Developmentally-Appropriate health Promotion Therapy (ADAPT) - on preventing alcohol use and promoting well-being among students in middle school in a heavy adolescent alcohol use region (Denmark). Using a 2-condition cluster-randomized controlled trial of students in 8th grade (ages 13-15), the following hypotheses are tested: 1. Compared to adolescents in the Delayed Treatment Condition (DTC), ADAPT adolescents will show significant reductions in intentions to drink (primary outcome) from baseline to 3 months post intervention. 2. Compared to adolescents in the DTC, ADAPT adolescents will show significant reductions in alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences, and significant increases in well-being and life satisfaction (secondary outcomes) from baseline to 3 months. Additionally, acceptability and feasibility is examined.
