Social Identity Mapping for Adolescent Recovery

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to address the gap between clinical treatment and adolescents' lived social environments by developing and testing a novel, interactive intervention-SIM-AiR-that directly targets social risk and protective factors. By helping youth visually and cognitively process their social identities and networks, SIM-AiR seeks to support more enduring recovery outcomes in adolescents (12-19 years old) with alcohol use disorder (AUD). The specific aims of this study protocol are to pilot the SIM-AiR intervention module and collect participant acceptability feedback and preliminary outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the acceptability of the SIM-AiR treatment module from the perspective of participants? Do participants' acceptability ratings of the SIM-AiR treatment module vary by personal and/or social network characteristics? Clinicians will implement the SIM-AiR with an adolescent client. Clinicians will provide feedback to the study team on their experience to support future implementation. Participants will complete the SIM-AiR module during a treatment session with their clinician and participate in data collection with study staff (e.g., surveys, interviews) following the treatment session.
