Community Wise: An Innovative Multi-level Intervention to Reduce Alcohol and Illegal Drug Use
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Critical Dialogue, Capacity Building Project, and 3 other interventions for Substance Use Disorders. Completed, enrolled 602 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The current project seeks to implement the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) and Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles to identify the most efficient, scalable, and sustainable combination of Community Wise components. Community Wise is a manualized multi-level intervention aimed at reducing health inequalities related to alcohol and illicit drug use (AIDU).This 2x2x2x2 factorial design will be fully powered to detect change in AIDU in a sample of 528 men with substance use disorders and a history of incarceration residing in distressed communities with predominantly Black populations. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of sixteen experimental conditions.

Interventions
Prompted by thematic images, aims to help participants develop a deeper understanding of how marginalizing processes (e.g., systematic stigma; feelings of rage as victims of discrimination) impact participants' lives and behavior.
Designed to create collaborative efforts to overcome and dismantle marginalizing processes by building positive social and organizational relationships and community capacity through the development and implementation of community projects aiming to address social determinants of health.
Aims to increase self-efficacy and help participants develop a vision for their future, breaking this vision down into small, feasible, measureable goals they can implement on a weekly basis (e.g. quitting smoking, improving relationships with family members, paying down debt).
