Early Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Misuse and Abuse in the Ohio Army National Guard

Abstract

The proposed project is a fully-powered randomized controlled trial of a Web-based + texting alcohol brief intervention (WT-BI) versus an Enhanced Usual Care (EUC) condition for National Guard members in the State of Ohio who meet criteria for at-risk drinking in the previous 3 months. After tailoring the content of the WT-BI intervention for NG soldiers, the proposed study will screen ~ 3,100 individuals over the three year enrollment period as part of the larger ongoing longitudinal assessment of ONG members in the OHARNG MHI, to identify 750 participants with at-risk drinking. These ONG members will be randomized to either the WT-BI (n=375) or the EUC condition (n=375) and followed for one year. Enrollment has not yet begun, therefore there are no results to report at this time.
