Improving Attendance in Community Wise
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Intervention Engagement and Retention
In brief
Rates of alcohol and substance misuse (ASM) in low-income, predominantly African American communities are similar to the general population. However, ASM has greater consequences (e.g., higher incarceration and HIV infection rates) for residents in these communities. We developed and optimized Community Wise (CW), a multi-level manualized behavioral intervention to decrease ASM frequency in a population of self-identified men with histories of substance use disorder (SUD) and incarceration (SUD) in Essex County, New Jersey (NJ), U.S. We propose a study to: 1) identify strategies to improve attendance and reduce ASM, and 2) to test feasibility and acceptability of CW among self-identified men and women with a history of SUD living in marginalized communities. We will achieve these aims by conducting a 23 full factorial experiment informed by MOST and CBPR. This study will identify efficient, scalable, and sustainable strategies to improve attendance and hence, maximize the interventions' effect in reducing ASM.
