Risk Reduction Behavior Clinical Trial
— EQUIPOfficial title:
Examining Motivations for and Quality of Alcohol and Marijuana Protective Behavior Strategy Use: Improving Prevention of Hazardous Young Adult Substance Use
The most successful young adult alcohol or marijuana interventions involve the provision of accurate, nonjudgmental personalized feedback, but notably the inclusion and effectiveness of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) content is inconsistent. Moreover, active components of brief interventions are not well understood, and findings have been inconclusive regarding whether PBS mediates intervention efficacy of college student personalized feedback interventions (PFIs), with only some studies showing evidence of mediation. One possible reason for these findings is that investigators often do not know young adults' motivations for using (or not using) PBS or the quality of PBS use across individuals or across drinking occasions. The proposed study will provide an in-depth examination of which PBS young adults are motivated to use (including implementation quality) and reasons that young adults may or may not use PBS. Understanding why young adults are choosing not to use PBS on specific occasions or do not engage in effective or high-quality PBS use on certain occasions has significant clinical implications, whereby interventions may need to spend more time increasing motivations to use PBS in an effective manner or work on reducing perceived barriers (i.e., reasons individuals are not using PBS). Clinicians may then be better able to work with young adults in various settings to reduce or prevent excessive alcohol and marijuana use and related consequences. The proposed research has high potential for making a substantial impact on the field and public health (particularly as more states permit legal access to marijuana for those over 21) as it will address a problem of high importance (alcohol and marijuana use) by being the first to develop and refine a PBS intervention that specifically focuses on motivations for alcohol and marijuana PBS use and non-use as well as quality of use, which is an overlooked aspect of current PBS-related intervention approaches. The development of more efficacious interventions to reduce the proportion of young adults who engage in excessive alcohol use and who experience consequences is a key priority of the NIAAA. Related, development of more effective interventions to reduce risk from marijuana use is an area of great importance for the NIDA.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in Daily Drinking Questionnaire | The Daily Drinking Questionnaire (Collins, Parks, & Marlatt, 1985) measures the quantity and frequency of alcohol use by asking students to estimate the typical number of drinks consumed on each day of the week, averaged over the previous 3 months. | Change from Baseline measurement at 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire | The Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (a=.79; Read et al., 2006) will asses consequences from drinking. | Change from Baseline measurement at 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Alcohol Protective Behavioral Strategies | Alcohol Protective Behavioral Strategies (i.e., tips and strategies used to reduce harm when drinking) will be assessed with the Protective Behavioral Strategies Survey-20 (PBSS-20; a=.63-.81; Treloar et al., 2015). | Change from Baseline measurement at 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Motivations for alcohol Protective Behavioral Strategies use and non-use | Motivations for alcohol Protective Behavioral Strategies use and non-use survey (i.e., tips and strategies used to reduce harm when drinking) will be used (a=.80; Litt & Lewis, 2016; Bravo et al., 2018). | Change from Baseline measurement at 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Daily Marijuana Use Questionnaire | A parallel Daily Drinking Questionnaire measure will be asked for marijuana assessing typical days used and typical number of hours high each day (a=.97, Lee et al., 2013). | Change from Baseline measurement at 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Marijuana Protective Behavioral Strategies | Marijuana Protective Behavioral Strategies (i.e., tips and strategies used to reduce harm when using marijuana) will be assessed using the Protective Behavioral Strategies for Marijuana Scale (PBSM-36; Pedersen et al., 2017; a=.93). | Change from Baseline measurement at 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Motivations for marijuana Protective Behavioral Strategies use and non-use | Motivations for marijuana Protective Behavioral Strategies use and non-use survey (i.e., tips and strategies used to reduce harm when using marijuana) will be assessed using parallel items to the alcohol protective behavioral strategies motivations measure (Litt & Lewis, 2016; Bravo et al., 2018). | Change from Baseline measurement at 2 months | |
Primary | Change in Rutgers Marijuana Problem Index | The Rutgers Marijuana Problem Index (White et al., 2005) will assess marijuana consequences, selecting acute items appropriate for daily-level measurement. | From date of randomization until study completion, up to 2 months. This measure will be administered using daily surveys sent on the day following intervention TMs, which are sent on Friday, Saturday, and a randomly chosen weekday for up to 8 weeks. | |
Primary | Change in Protective Behavioral Strategy use and quality the previous day | PBS use and quality the previous day will be assessed by having participants report which, if any, alcohol and/or marijuana PBS they used the previous day, and for those they report using, how well they implemented the PBS (i.e., quality) and how helpful they perceived the strategy to be. | From date of randomization until study completion, up to 2 months. This measure will be administered using daily surveys sent on the day following intervention TMs, which are sent on Friday, Saturday, and a randomly chosen weekday for up to 8 weeks. | |
Primary | Change in Simultaneous Alcohol and Marijuana Use | Questions regarding SAM use will be adapted from MTF (Johnston et al., 2015). | Change from date of randomization until study completion, up to 2 months. This measure will be administered using daily surveys sent the day after intervention TMs, which are sent on Friday, Saturday, and a randomly chosen weekday for up to 8 weeks. | |
Primary | Change in Concurrent Alcohol and Marijuana Use | Concurrent Alcohol and Marijuana Use: Concurrent Alcohol and Marijuana Use is determined from the alcohol and marijuana measures (i.e., endorsement of both alcohol and marijuana use within the same timeframe; Lee et al., 2013). | Change from date of randomization until study completion, up to 2 months. This measure will be administered using daily surveys sent the day after intervention TMs, which are sent on Friday, Saturday, and a randomly chosen weekday for up to 8 weeks. |
