Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether a computerized brief intervention for moderate risk drug use among adult primary care patients is more effective than providing such patients with a substance abuse assessment alone.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will enroll 80 adult primary care patients who have moderate risk drug use. Eligible participants (N = 80) will be randomly assigned to immediately receive a computerized brief intervention focused on drug use or to receive the same computerized brief intervention at 3-month follow-up. All participants will be assessed at three time points: baseline, and at 3 and 6 month follow-ups.

Computerized Brief Intervention

Computerized Brief Intervention is delivered using a talking, animated cartoon-like parrot that provides patient feedback, empathic reflection, and personalization regarding their drug use.
