Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to develop and examine a culturally adapted, mobile health application for the Android and iOS platform. The application uses a personalized feedback intervention (PFI) designed to enhance knowledge regarding adverse anxiety-alcohol interrelations, increase motivation and intention to reduce hazardous drinking, and reduce positive attitudes and intention regarding anxiety-related alcohol use among Black hazardous drinkers with clinical anxiety.
Detailed Description
Investigators will develop a culturally adapted, brief, single-session PFI delivered via a mobile health application for the Android and iOS platform through an iterative approach using expert input and semi-structured interview sessions. Next, Black hazardous drinkers with clinical anxiety will assess program navigation and conduct usability testing. Finally, Black hazardous drinkers with clinical anxiety will be recruited to complete the final prototype of the mobile health application in order to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and initial effects. Initial screening will be conducted via Zoom; baseline and post-treatment data will be collected via Zoom and 1-week, 1-month, and 3-months follow-up data will be collected remotely.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale
Time Frame: Change from Baseline Pre PFI Completion to 3-months Post PFI Completion
The 5-item Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale will be used to assess anxiety symptom severity and impairment. Each of the items is rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 4. Items are summed to produce a total score (possible range 0 to 20). A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test
Time Frame: Change from Baseline Pre PFI Completion to 3-months Post PFI Completion
The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test will be used to assess drinking quantity, craving, and related consequences to alcohol use. The 10 items are rated with various Likert-type scales. The measure produces a total score by adding all of the items of the measure with higher scores indicating greater problems with alcohol (possible range 0 to 40). A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- Motivation to Reduce Alcohol Consumption Scale(Change from Baseline Pre PFI Completion to 3-months Post PFI Completion)
- Modified Drinking Motives Questionnaire-Revised(Change from Baseline Pre PFI Completion to 3-months Post PFI Completion)
- Alcohol Attitudes Scale(Change from Baseline Pre PFI Completion to 3-months Post PFI Completion)
