Overview

This study will: (1) refine and finalize the SPEAR intervention manual for preventing alcohol use disorders (AUD) and associated harms for Pacific Islander young adults; and (2) test SPEAR for efficacy by conducting a pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Detailed description

Pacific Islander young adults bear elevated risk for alcohol use disorders (AUD) and alcohol-related harms, yet lack effective interventions to reduce their risk. Grounded in the social development model, this study will: (1) refine and finalize the SPEAR intervention manual for preventing alcohol use disorders (AUD) and associated harms for Pacific Islander young adults from existing evidence-based AUD prevention strategies; then (2) test SPEAR for efficacy by conducting a pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial (RCT) with at-risk Pacific Islander young adults across multiple Pacific Islander communities in the US.

Interventions

  • Behavioral SPEAR (Strategies for Pacific Empowerment and Alcohol Reduction)
    This behavioral group intervention will consist of multiple group sessions to reduce AUDs and alcohol-related harms in Pacific Islander young adults. It will infuse culturally resonant narratives, language, and elements into existing evidence-based strategies.

Primary outcome measures

  • Heavy Episodic Drinking (HED) Days [Time frame: Up to 30 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
  • Alcohol Consumption [Time frame: Up to 30 weeks]
