A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial evaluates the effectiveness of a culturally adapted brief motivational intervention aimed at reducing alcohol-related health disparities among Latinx individuals who have experienced alcohol-related injuries. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the culturally informed brief motivational intervention (CI-BMI) or a standard non-adapted brief intervention. The CI-BMI focuses on enhancing motivation for protective drinking behaviors and addressing barriers to treatment utilization, leveraging cultural strengths and values. The study aims to demonstrate that this tailored approach will lead to better outcomes in reducing alcohol problems and increasing treatment engagement.
