Description of intervention(s) / exposure
BEHAVIORAL - Brief alcohol intervention (Health4Her-Automated)
BEHAVIORAL - Lifestyle health promotion

Experimental: Brief alcohol intervention (Health4Her-Automated) + lifestyle health promotion - The intervention arm will receive:

* brief alcohol intervention
* lifestyle health promotion focused on physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight for reducing breast cancer risk.

Participants will receive an iPad and earphones to self-complete the intervention. Alcohol and lifestyle information will be delivered by way of an animation on an iPad, and self-completed activities to reinforce intervention content.

Other: Lifestyle health promotion - The control arm will receive:

* lifestyle health promotion focused on physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight for reducing breast cancer risk.

Participants will receive an iPad and earphones to self-complete the control intervention. Lifestyle information will be delivered by way of an animation on an iPad, and a self-completed activity to reinforce intervention content.


BEHAVIORAL: Brief alcohol intervention (Health4Her-Automated)
Embedded within the lifestyle health promotion provided in both conditions, participants randomised to the experimental condition will receive a brief alcohol intervention. The brief alcohol intervention will comprise information and behaviour-change content regarding alcohol consumption, including: messaging around alcohol risks/harms (with a focus on alcohol use and breast cancer risk), positive-framed messaging on the health benefits of reducing alcohol intake, and alcohol harm-reduction / behaviour change strategies (e.g. drink counting, goal setting, behaviour substitution, problem solving).

Post-session information will be provided via email (i.e. electronic brochure summarising brief alcohol intervention content).

BEHAVIORAL: Lifestyle health promotion
Lifestyle health promotion, focused on physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight for reducing breast cancer risk, will be provided.

Post-session information will be provided via email (i.e. electronic brochure summarising nutrition for maintaining a healthy weight).

Summary
Brief summary
Alcohol is a major modifiable risk factor for female breast cancer; yet, awareness of this risk remains surprisingly low and is not systematically addressed in healthcare settings. This study aim to test the effectiveness of a co-designed, automated brief alcohol intervention (Health4Her-Automated) in reducing women's drinking intentions, improving alcohol literacy, and reducing consumption.
