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

What this trial studies

The study enrolls adults who identify as Black or African American, are in recovery from alcohol problems for 3–60 months, and are already receiving in-person recovery support. Participants have an initial in-person visit, then use digital recovery resources for 12 weeks, complete weekly brief surveys, and finish with a follow-up in-person visit. The research uses a smartphone-based digital recovery platform in addition to existing support services at a partnered recovery center. Data collection includes baseline and a 13-week in-person assessment to understand user experience and recovery outcomes.
