Computerized Brief Intervention vs. Delayed Computerized Brief Intervention

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Drug Abuse

• Registration Number: NCT01936623
• Lead Sponsor: Friends Research Institute, Inc.

Brief Summary

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

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.
