Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the eTSF intervention is feasible among Latinx young adults with alcohol use disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is eTSF feasible?
- Is eTSF effective in reducing alcohol use and increasing 12-step engagement compared to the control condition? The control condition will receive educational materials on drinking problems and a list of local/online AA meetings Participants will
- Be randomly assigned to either the eTSF condition or the control condition.
- Fill out the baseline online survey.
- Go through the eTSF app/control materials.
- And at 3 months post-baseline, fill out the follow-up online survey.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Recruitment feasibility
Time Frame: Every 4 weeks up to 2 years
Recruitment feasibility will be measured by the number of participants screened and enrolled each month.
Randomization feasibility
Time Frame: From recruitment to baseline assessment up to two years
Randomization feasibility will be measured by the number of baseline demographic variables with statistically significant group differences.
Retention/attrition feasibility
Time Frame: From recruitment to the end of the trial at three months.
Retention/attrition feasibility will be measured by retention rates in each condition.
Adherence feasibility
Time Frame: From recruitment to the end of the trial at three months.
Adherence feasibility will be measured by the percentage of eTSF app components used by the eTSF condition participants.
Assessment feasibility
Time Frame: From recruitment to the end of the trial at three months.
Assessment feasibility will be measured by the proportion of missing data in each assessment.
Intervention credibility
Time Frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at three months.
Intervention credibility will be measured using a single-item question: "On a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 indicates 'not at all' and 5 indicates 'very much,' to what extent do you believe this treatment will be beneficial for you?" Only eTSF condition participants will receive this measure.
Intervention satisfaction
Time Frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at three months.
Intervention satisfaction will be measured using the mHealth Satisfaction Questionnaire, which has a total score range from 14 to 42. Higher total scores indicate greater user satisfaction with the mHealth app.
Intervention acceptability
Time Frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at three months.
Acceptability will be measured using the Abbreviated Acceptability Rating Profile, which scores range from 8 to 48. Higher scores indicate greater acceptability of the intervention.
Intervention engagement
Time Frame: From baseline to the end of treatment at three months.
Intervention engagement will be automatically recorded by the app during the study period and be measured in terms of app opening frequency, time spent on the app per use session (i.e., the time between opening and closing the app), most frequently used intervention component, time spent per intervention component, the completion rate of each selected component, reports of technical problems.
Secondary Outcomes
- Alcohol use(From baseline to the end of treatment at three months.)
- 12-Step fellowship engagement(From baseline to the end of treatment at three months.)
