Substance Use in Assault-Injured Young Adults

This study is testing an adapted Brief Negotiation Interview (BNI) intervention, which is a short motivational conversation, to help young adults who have been injured in assaults and also misuse alcohol or cannabis. The goal is to see if this adapted conversation can encourage you to reduce your alcohol and/or cannabis use and consider treatment. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 25 years old, have been intentionally injured by another person in the past year, and currently misuse alcohol and/or cannabis. The study aims to understand if it's practical to recruit and keep participants, and if people are willing to be part of the study. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 50 participants. It will compare those who receive the adapted BNI and treatment referrals to a group that only receives referrals.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
