Social Identity Mapping for Adolescent Recovery

1. Specific Aims and Objectives

The specific aims of this study protocol are to pilot the SIM-AiR intervention module with 60 adolescents (12-19 years old) with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and collect patient acceptability feedback and preliminary outcomes. 60 adolescents receiving outpatient AUD treatment will be recruited to receive the SIM-AiR module and to participate in study visit to collect acceptability information. 2. General Description of Study Design

This is Aim 2 of the R34 grant proposal, which is an intervention development grant. Aim 1 of this grant is pilot work directly with clinicians to finalize the treatment module. The SIM-AiR module will be incorporated as a single session for patients attending adolescent outpatient treatment program. In line with the aims of this as a pilot project, investigators will recruit clinicians to pilot the SIM-AiR and then our study team will conduct a single study visit with the clinician to get their feedback and with the adolescent to collect their acceptability feedback and other characteristics to consider necessary steps adaptation for implementation in a future larger clinical trial. As a pilot study, our focus will be on recruiting adolescents already seeking AUD treatment. 3. Study Procedures

After the adolescent participant has consented, the participant will be able to schedule their intervention session and study visit. The clinician will deliver the SIM-AiR in an individual treatment session with an adolescent client that will occur sometime after their initial treatment session. The session will be audio-recorded for fidelity. After each session, clinicians will be asked to complete an online survey about their immediate impressions of implementing the SIM-AiR with their client. The participant will also complete an interview after the first implementation of SIM-AiR to get immediate feedback on any areas that need to be adapted for future implementation. As clinicians conduct more SIM-AiR sessions study staff will conduct interviews, as necessary, to collect any new feedback on the procedure and materials.

The adolescent participant will also be scheduled to participate in data collection following the treatment session with a member of the study team. A subset of adolescents will be selected for the interview. For those clients, the survey will be followed by the brief, audio-recorded interview with a member of the study team.
