Personalized Feedback for Latinx Drinkers with Anxiety
This study is testing a new computer program called Alcohol-Anxiety Personalized Feedback Intervention 2.0 (AA-PFI 2.0). This program is designed to help Latinx individuals who experience both anxiety and hazardous drinking. It aims to increase their understanding of how anxiety and alcohol affect each other, and to boost their desire to drink less. We will compare AA-PFI 2.0 to a control program (C-PFI) that focuses on exercise and nutrition. The study will enroll about 250 participants. We will measure if participants' motivation to reduce alcohol use, their reasons for drinking, and their attitudes towards alcohol change after using the program. To join, you must be between 21 and 75 years old, identify as Latinx or Hispanic, speak fluent Spanish, and have both hazardous drinking patterns and clinical anxiety. The study's current status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Motivation to Reduce Alcohol Consumption ScaleChange from Baseline Pre PFI completion to Baseline Post PFI completion
The 1-item Motivation to Reduce Alcohol Consumption Scale will be used to measure current motivation/intention to reduce alcohol. Participants will be asked to select the statement that best describes their motivation/intention to reduce drinking (e.g., "I really want to cut down on drinking alcohol and intend to in the next month"). Higher scores on this measure indicate greater motivation/intention to reduce alcohol consumption (possible range (0-7).
- Modified Drinking Motives Questionnaire-RevisedChange from Baseline Pre PFI completion to Baseline Post PFI completion
The Modified Drinking Motives Questionnaire-Revised will be used to assess expectancies of drinking. For the current study, the 4-item "Coping-anxiety" subscale will be used as a measure of expectancies of drinking to reduce/cope with anxiety. The measure utilizes a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (almost never/never) to 5 (almost always/always). Scores are averaged with higher scores indicating greater expectancies of drinking to reduce/cope with anxiety (possible range 1 to 5).
- Alcohol Attitudes ScaleChange from Baseline Pre PFI completion to Baseline Post PFI completion
The 7-item Alcohol Attitudes Scale will be utilized to measure maladaptive attitudes for drinking (e.g., "Drinking alcohol is good"). Items are rated on a Likert-type scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Scores will be averaged to create a composite score (possible range 1 to 7). Higher scores indicate greater maladaptive attitudes for drinking.
