Leveraging Implementation Science to Develop a Mindfulness-Based Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Misuse and Tobacco Use Among Sexual Violence Survivors
Georgia State University
Summary
The goal is this pilot randomized trial is to learn if intervention 1 is feasible and acceptable. As a secondary goal, we aim to learn if intervention 1 reduces alcohol misuse and tobacco use in sexual assault survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is intervention 1 feasible to implement? * Is intervention 1 an acceptable intervention among the primary population, sexual assault survivors? * Does intervention 1 reduce alcohol misuse and tobacco use? Researchers will compare intervention 1 to an attention-placebo control group (e.g., online resources on healthy eating and nutrition). Participants will: * take online surveys at baseline, 1 month follow-up, and 3-month follow-up * answer text-message questions at baseline and post-test * view and engage in an educational program
