Note:
In Stage I, Community Based Participatory Research (Stage I CBPR), we developed a culturally informed brief motivational intervention (CI-BMI) which adopts a harm reduction approach and focuses on reducing alcohol problems and increasing treatment utilization 2. Through a flexible core approach, CI-BMI introduces substantial modifications to standard brief alcohol interventions to be culturally responsive and is theoretically grounded in self-determination theory (SDT)3-5. The result of Stage I CBPR was CI-BMI which 1) leverages cultural values and strengths while addressing the process of acculturation and acculturative stress; 2) is explicitly designed to meet the basic psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness, and competence by supporting autonomy to enhance autonomous motivation to change drinking behavior; and 3) focuses on harm reduction. Our Stage I CBPR (n=87) demonstrated that CI-BMI is feasible and acceptable in pretesting in a Level I Trauma Center. We hypothesize that CI-BMI will lead to increased engagement in protective drinking behaviors, fewer alcohol problems as well as reduce barriers to help seeking and increase treatment utilization among underserved, non-treatment seeking Latinxs who engage in at risk drinking and are seriously injured. The proposed Stage II Efficacy Trial of CI-BMI will randomize 600 Latinxs admitted to a Level I Trauma Center at University Medical Center in El Paso, Texas to either NA-BMI or CI-BMI conducted by research staff from The University of Texas El Paso.
