Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Native American/Alaska Native women who have had sex with a partner using inconsistent or no contraception and who report at-risk alcohol use in the past 90 days, with daily mobile internet access.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants without ongoing risk of alcohol-exposed pregnancy or without sustained engagement with the online platform may see no direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This study uses a large factorial design over 3 months to compare multiple components of the CARRII Native online intervention. It aims to identify the most effective and cost-efficient version for reducing AEP risk while engaging Native communities. The protocol includes exploratory analyses of how and for whom the components work and feasibility metrics for a future randomized trial. The trial focuses on Native American/Alaska Native women who drink at risk levels and have potential pregnancy risk due to inconsistent contraception, with internet access via mobile devices. Lead sites include the University of Virginia with collaboration from the University of Minnesota.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the optimized online intervention could more effectively reduce the risk of alcohol-exposed pregnancies among Native women while staying affordable for Native communities.
How similar studies have gone: Prior online interventions for AEP risk have shown promise in some populations; this study tests a novel, factorial optimization approach within a Native-focused context.
