Barriers to intervention persist for OA. Mobile interventions, specifically short message service (SMS, also known as text messaging), provide an opportunity to overcome such barriers. The purpose of this paper is to explore the acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of four SMS intervention conditions compared to mobile assessment only among OA (50–65 years old, n = 49) who drink at high-risk levels compared to younger adults (YA, 21–49 years old, n = 102).\u0000\u0000\u0000Design/methodology/approach\u0000Within and between age group differences at baseline and end-of-treatment (12 weeks) were explored.

Descriptively, SMS groups demonstrated reduced drinking across age groups at end-of-treatment compared to mobile assessment only, though slightly larger effects were found for YA than for OA. Age significantly moderated the receipt of any SMS intervention only for depression (i.e., older age weakened the therapeutic effect).
