Study Description

Investigators will develop a culturally adapted, brief, single-session PFI delivered via a mobile health application for the Android and iOS platform through an iterative approach using expert input and semi-structured interview sessions. Next, Black hazardous drinkers with clinical anxiety will assess program navigation and conduct usability testing. Finally, Black hazardous drinkers with clinical anxiety will be recruited to complete the final prototype of the mobile health application in order to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and initial effects. Initial screening will be conducted via Zoom; baseline and post-treatment data will be collected via Zoom and 1-week, 1-month, and 3-months follow-up data will be collected remotely.
