What this Trial Is About
Researchers are developing and testing a culturally adapted mobile health application aimed at Black individuals who engage in hazardous drinking and experience clinical anxiety. This study evaluates a personalized feedback intervention (PFI) designed to increase knowledge about the harmful relationship between anxiety and alcohol use, motivate reduction in risky drinking, and change attitudes towards anxiety-related alcohol consumption. The intervention is delivered through a brief, single-session mobile application available on Android and iOS platforms. Participants complete a 45-minute session at the start and then have access to the app's materials for up to three months. The app was created with expert input and usability testing from Black hazardous drinkers with clinical anxiety to ensure cultural relevance and ease of use. Participants will take part remotely, with initial screening and baseline assessments conducted via Zoom. Follow-up data will be collected remotely at one week, one month, and three months after the intervention. Researchers will measure changes in alcohol use, anxiety severity, motivation to reduce drinking, drinking motives, and alcohol attitudes to assess the app’s feasibility, acceptability, and initial effects.
