Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The objective of this study is to adapt and test the feasibility of a 4-week motivational interviewing mHealth intervention, Tracking and Reducing Alcohol Consumption (TRAC), to reduce alcohol use among adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors during post-treatment survivorship. At the end of this study, the feasibility data gathered will inform a definitive randomized controlled trial of TRAC-AYA to test the efficacy of the adapted intervention.

- TRAC: Tracking and Reducing Alcohol Consumption
- description
- The TRAC intervention focuses on increasing motivation and building skills to reduce alcohol use and involves 4, 30-minute sessions with an interventionist done via video chat or phone. Participants will complete smartphone-based self-monitoring of alcohol use. Each morning, participants complete a mobile survey indicating if they drank the previous day and if so, how many drinks they had. Surveys will be programmed using REDcap and sent via a link in the reminder text message. Additionally, participants will be prompted each evening and asked to complete a breathalyzer reading using a mobile app to determine blood alcohol content (BAC). If safety concerns are identified (e.g., BAC ≥0.30; blackouts), the interventionist will refer the AYA to a licensed provider with expertise in substance use treatment.

- Control
- description
- Participants in the control group will receive educational materials regarding alcohol consumption and its link to cancer . They will also participate in smartphone monitoring of alcohol use on the same schedule as participants in the intervention group. This will allow us to compare daily alcohol use data between the two conditions and evaluate the added component of weekly counseling in TRAC.
