CAMI-HI Trial Summary

This trial will examine the effects of a culturally-adapted motivational interviewing intervention on Latinx heavy drinkers who use alcohol and other drugs.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Latinx adults who are first or second-generation immigrants and heavy drinkers, defined as having 4/5 or more drinks per occasion at least once a month, or scoring high on alcohol use assessments. It's not for those in current treatment for alcohol disorders, with psychotic symptoms, cognitive impairments, or enrolled in the CCM Program for over 3 months.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests CAMI (a culturally adapted motivational interviewing) against standard care to see if it reduces alcohol-related harm and improves mental health among Latinx heavy drinkers using drugs and/or alcohol. Participants will be followed up to one year after receiving CAMI from trained Community Wellness Advocates.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since CAMI is a psychological intervention rather than a medication, it may not have typical 'side effects' but could potentially cause emotional discomfort during discussions about personal issues like immigration-related stress.
