Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare an active intervention versus a standard of care control in reducing alcohol use among pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are whether a motivational intervention can: 1. increase the proportion of women detected with a laboratory-confirmed negative phosphatidylethanol (PEth) test during pregnancy, and 2. reduce the proportion of adverse birth outcomes among infants. Participants will be offered (1) a self-paced computer-delivered alcohol reduction intervention to enhance knowledge, norms, and motivation for alcohol reduction and (2) a nurse-delivered component to reinforce the computer-delivered content and address women's questions. Both components are theory-driven, based on Motivational Enhancement Theory (MET), and use motivational strategies to promote alcohol reduction.
