This study will examine the association between race-related stress and alcohol use disorder on alcohol craving, and stress markers. Participants who identify as African American will complete a total of three visits, including a 1-month follow-up visit. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about their mood, anxiety, drug use, craving, and experiences of racial discrimination. They will listen to personalized scripts about a stressful situation related to their race, a time when they drank alcohol, and a relaxing situation. Participants will also be asked to complete mobile assessments for 1 month following their last visit. These mobile assessments will include links to surveys that will be sent via text. Compensation is available.
The purpose of this research study is to gather feedback via focus groups/individual interviews and surveys from American Indian and Hispanic pregnant and postpartum people about 1) mental health and substance use concerns and 2) a text message based mental health and substance use disorder screening, referral and treatment program for pregnant and postpartum people called Listening to Women & Pregnant and Postpartum People (LTWP). By gaining the feedback of American Indian and Hispanic people we hope to improve accessibility and efficacy of this program for these populations. Participation involves one individual interview or focus group (a small group discussion) and surveys.
