Study of Culturally Adapted Brief Intervention for Alcohol Use Disorder in Latinx Individuals

This study is looking at ways to help Latinx individuals who have been injured due to alcohol use. It compares two types of counseling: standard Brief Motivational Interviewing and a Culturally Adapted Brief Motivational Interviewing. The goal is to see if the culturally adapted approach is better at helping people reduce their drinking and use protective strategies. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, identify as Latinx, were admitted to a trauma center for an alcohol-related injury, and have a certain blood alcohol level or are at risk for problem drinking. The study will measure changes in your protective drinking strategies over 3, 6, and 12 months.

Study design
This is a Stage II Randomized Efficacy Trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups. The study plans to enroll 600 participants.
What's involved

Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 12 months after starting the intervention, with measurements taken at 3, 6, and 12 months.

  • Change from baseline in protective drinking strategies on 7-point Protective Behavioral Strategies Scale (PBSS) at 3-monthBaseline and 3 month

    The 20-item Protective Behavioral Strategies Scale (PBSS) will be used to quantify the engagement in harm reduction behaviors which will be assessed at baseline, three, six and twelve month follow up. The PBSS consists of three subscales that reflect different types of strategies: stopping/limiting drinking (7 items), manner of drinking (5 items), and serious harm reduction (3 items). Participants are instructed to rate the degree to which they engage in PBS on a 6-point response scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 6 (Always). change=(3 month -baseline score)

  • Change from baseline in protective drinking strategies on 7-point Protective Behavioral Strategies Scale (PBSS) at 6-monthBaseline and 6 month

    The 20-item Protective Behavioral Strategies Scale (PBSS) will be used to quantify the engagement in harm reduction behaviors which will be assessed at baseline, three, six and twelve month follow up. The PBSS consists of three subscales that reflect different types of strategies: stopping/limiting drinking (7 items), manner of drinking (5 items), and serious harm reduction (3 items). Participants are instructed to rate the degree to which they engage in PBS on a 6-point response scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 6 (Always). change=(6 month -baseline score)

  • Change from baseline in protective drinking strategies on 7-point Protective Behavioral Strategies Scale (PBSS) at 12-monthBaseline and 12 month

    The 20-item Protective Behavioral Strategies Scale (PBSS) will be used to quantify the engagement in harm reduction behaviors which will be assessed at baseline, three, six and twelve month follow up. The PBSS consists of three subscales that reflect different types of strategies: stopping/limiting drinking (7 items), manner of drinking (5 items), and serious harm reduction (3 items).

  • change from baseline in alcohol problems on a 5-point scale using the Short Index of Problems (SIP) at 3 monthsBaseline and 3 month

    Participants are asked to indicate how often they have experienced each of 15 consequences listed in the items. Each item is responded to on a 5-point response scale ranging from 0 (Never) to 4 (Daily or almost daily). The 15 items will be summed to create a total score. Change = (3-month -baseline score)

  • change from baseline in alcohol problems on a 5-point scale using the Short Index of Problems (SIP) at 6 monthsBaseline and 6 month

    Participants are asked to indicate how often they have experienced each of 15 consequences listed in the items. Each item is responded to on a 5-point response scale ranging from 0 (Never) to 4 (Daily or almost daily). The 15 items will be summed to create a total score. Change = (6 -month -baseline score)

  • change from baseline in alcohol problems on a 5-point scale using the Short Index of Problems (SIP) at 12 monthsBaseline and 12-month

    Participants are asked to indicate how often they have experienced each of 15 consequences listed in the items. Each item is responded to on a 5-point response scale ranging from 0 (Never) to 4 (Daily or almost daily). The 15 items will be summed to create a total score. Change = (12-month -baseline score)
