Example of (de-identified) interactive text messaging session

Interventionist: Great, thank you! (1) Of the information you just viewed, what was most interesting?

Participant: I had no idea that the cost for a DUI could add up to over $6,000

Interventionist: You were surprised that it was so expensive. How much did you assume it would cost?

Participant: I guess I never really put a lot of thought into it, but I never realized how many things and expenses play into getting a DUI.

Interventionist: It really adds up! (2) How would receiving a DUI impact your future career goals?

Participant: Well, I plan to go to dental school after undergrad, so it would completely ruin that for me.

Interventionist: Receiving a DUI might make it much more difficult to get into dental school. (3) What is your plan for driving after drinking in the future?

Participant: I really try my best to avoid that and I have only done that a very few number of times, so I’m just going to cut that out completely. I try to call an Uber after I’ve been drinking at all so I will make sure to do that every time.

Interventionist: It sounds like it’s really important to you to stay safe! In order to make sure you’re safe, you’ll call an Uber if you’ve had too much to drive safely.
