Brief Summary

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

This study will: (1) refine and finalize the SPEAR intervention manual for preventing alcohol use disorders (AUD) and associated harms for Pacific Islander young adults; and (2) test SPEAR for efficacy by conducting a pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Detailed Description

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

Pacific Islander young adults bear elevated risk for alcohol use disorders (AUD) and alcohol-related harms, yet lack effective interventions to reduce their risk. Grounded in the social development model, this study will: (1) refine and finalize the SPEAR intervention manual for preventing alcohol use disorders (AUD) and associated harms for Pacific Islander young adults from existing evidence-based AUD prevention strategies; then (2) test SPEAR for efficacy by conducting a pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial (RCT) with at-risk Pacific Islander young adults across multiple Pacific Islander communities in the US.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SPEAR

This arm will consist of the SPEAR (Strategies for Pacific Empowerment and Alcohol Reduction) behavioral group intervention to reduce AUDs and alcohol-related harms in Pacific Islander young adults.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SPEAR (Strategies for Pacific Empowerment and Alcohol Reduction)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This behavioral group intervention will consist of multiple group sessions to reduce AUDs and alcohol-related harms in Pacific Islander young adults. It will infuse culturally resonant narratives, language, and elements into existing evidence-based strategies.

Control

This control group arm will be compared to the SPEAR intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
