Brief Summary

Problematic alcohol use can lead to worse social and health related consequences for underserved minorities, requiring urgent intervention. By training underserved minority health professional students, this proposed project will develop and test the feasibility of an innovative and culturally tailored intervention for adults studying at a minority institution, with specific focus on alcohol screening, brief intervention, and referral of treatment (SBIRT). This proposal is expected to have a positive impact on alcohol reduction and prevention for minority communities

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Detection of problematic alcohol use (i.e. HED or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use Using the RAPS4-QF Instrument

  Following the RAPS4-QF screening by AAPL, we anticipate that we will detect a 30% detection of problematic alcohol use (i.e. HED or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use.

  15 minutes

• Detection of problematic alcohol use (i.e. HED or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use based on adverse life experiences Using the RAPS4-QF Instrument

  Following the RAPS4-QF screening by AAPL, we anticipate that AAPLs with adverse life experiences will have a 40% detection rate of problematic alcohol use (i.e. HED or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use.

  15 minutes

• Detection of problematic alcohol use (i.e. HED or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use based on Race/Ethnicity Using the RAPS4-QF Instrument

  Following the RAPS4-QF screening by AAPL, we anticipate that AAPLs with matching race/ethnicity will have a 30% detection rate of problematic alcohol use (i.e. HED or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use.

  15 minutes

• Detection of problematic alcohol use (i.e. HED or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use based on drinking status Using the RAPS4-QF Instrument

  Following the RAPS4-QF screening by AAPL, we anticipate that AAPLs that are alcohol non-abstainers will have a 30% detection rate of problematic alcohol use (i.e. HED or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use.

  15 minutes

• Percentage of Participants Achieving Decreased Levels of Alcohol Risk Using the SBIRT Intervention

  By comparison of pre-, post- intervention, and six-months follow-up data, we anticipate the following compared to baseline: a 30% change in alcohol risk.

  Intervention: 15 minutes; Follow-up Point: 6 months post-intervention

Screening and Brief Intervention of Problematic Alcohol Use

EXPERIMENTAL

We plan to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the delivery of the peer-based SBIRT using the RAPS4-QF screening tool with CDU students. Furthermore, we will compare delivery by AAPLs' race/ethnicity, drinking status (abstainer vs. non-abstainer), and adverse life experiences. Following the screening by AAPLs, we expect a 30% detection of problematic alcohol use (i.e. high episodic drinking \[HED\] or AUD) and at-risk alcohol use. Participants that screen positive will receive brief motivational interviewing and referral to treatment and will be contacted 6 months following the SBIRT to assess their drinking behaviors. We expect that participants will decrease their alcohol consumption or drinking risk at the 6-month follow up.

Behavioral: Screening and Brief Intervention of Problematic Alcohol Use
