Overview
Brief Summary
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
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.
