Study Summary

Culturally-tailored empirically-based interventions are needed because Latinos suffer a greater burden of alcohol-related health disparities and negative social consequences compared to other racial/ethnic groups, are less likely to initiate and to remain in treatment, and are more likely to live in communities with a high density of alcohol outlets. Pilot data from the PI's (New Investigator) K award (AA014905), which will serve as the basis for the current proposed larger-scale study, demonstrated that culturally tailored motivational interviewing (CTMI) outperformed motivational interviewing (MI) that was not tailored to the needs of Latino heavy drinkers. The public health impact of this study will be to develop a program of early screening and brief intervention to reduce hazardous drinking among Latinos, to minimize the burden of illness and social consequences that disproportionately affect Latino communities.

Primary Outcome

The frequency of heavy drinking days will be assessed using a 90 day Timeline Follow Back (TLFB) collected at baseline prior to study intervention. TLFB will be administered again at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow up periods. Changes in frequency of heavy drinking days will be assessed across all study time points.
