Overview
The purpose of this study is to identify the best combination of new intervention components to use with CARRII, the first automated online intervention for alcohol-exposed pregnancies (AEP). This intervention is specifically designed for Native women and others who can become pregnant. Our goal is to maximize the effectiveness of the online intervention while keeping costs manageable for Native communities.
Description
In this protocol, for Aim 3, investigators will conduct a large 3-month factorial experiment with 512 participants. This design will identify the optimal intervention that efficiently balances AEP risk reduction with community-informed sustainable cost. Investigators will conduct exploratory analyses of mediation/moderation and identify study feasibility metrics (rates of Native women with AEP risk, and completing study recruitment, baseline, intervention, and follow-up vs. dropout) for a subsequent randomized control trial (RCT).
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Native American/American Indian/Alaska Native,
