DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Preventing alcohol and prescribed opioid/sedative misuse among military personnel including Reserve components, active duty soldiers, and Veterans is a national priority. The military is facing a crisis related to problematic alcohol and prescription drug use, particularly opioid and sedative misuse, and there is a critical need for effective prevention and early interventions. Service members with alcohol and/or opioid/sedative (AOS) misuse are at risk for poor outcomes such as injuries, reduced job performance, mental health problems, suicide, and HIV/other sexually transmitted infections. Although research in civilians indicates that Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) approaches can reduce substance use and problems, these protocols have not been studied adequately in military personnel. This body of research also points to the need for strategies to reinforce gains in order to sustain Brief Intervention (BI) effects, but "booster" to these interventions have not been well-studied. Emerging technologies, such as Web-based delivery of interventions and boosters provide the opportunity to tailor SBIRT interventions and address geographical barriers for military personnel such as the Army National Guard (NG). In addition, peer-outreach interventions have high levels of acceptability in military communities. The BuddytoBuddy peer support program, to be enhanced to include AOS misuse in this study, been used successfully in NG units. The proposed study will screen ~ 4,300 unique individuals over a 30-month enrollment period as part of Soldier Readiness Processing in the Michigan Army NG to identify 750 participants age 18-60 with alcohol and/or prescribed opioid or sedative misuse. Screenings via touch-screen computer tablets will be used to recruit NG members with alcohol/prescribed opioid or sedative misuse in the prior 3 months. Participants will be randomized to one of three conditions: 1) Web-delivered alcohol/prescribed drug misuse brief intervention with Web booster sessions (W+W; n=250); 2) Web-delivered brief intervention with Peer-delivered booster sessions (W+P; n=250); or 3) Enhanced Usual Care (EUC; n=250). The aims of the study are to develop, refine and test tailored motivational BIs with varied continuing booster reinforcements (Web vs. Peer) and to conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of these BIs (W+W; W+P) to usual care on subsequent alcohol/drug consumption and consequences, including injury, mental and physical-health functioning, and HIV risk behaviors at 4-, 8-, and 12-months post-enrollment. Random assignment will be stratified by gender and alcohol vs. prescription opioid/sedative misuse. The proposed study will directly inform leadership and key stakeholders about the impact of state-of-the-art technology-based BIs, combined with Web boosters or peer outreach, in NG military personnel to combat the growing scope of alcohol/prescription drug problems among U.S. reserve component and active duty soldiers. If successful, the results of the study will enhance translation to the general population and could have a major public health impact.

描述(由申请人提供)：防止包括预备役人员、现役士兵和退伍军人在内的军事人员滥用酒精和处方阿片类药物/镇静剂是国家优先事项。军方正面临与有问题的酒精和 处方药滥用，特别是阿片类药物和镇静剂的滥用，迫切需要有效的预防和早期干预。滥用酒精和/或阿片类药物/镇静剂(AOS)的服役人员面临不良后果的风险，如受伤、工作表现下降、精神健康问题、自杀和艾滋病毒/其他性传播感染。尽管对平民的研究表明，筛查、短暂干预和转诊治疗(SBIRT)方法可以减少药物使用和问题，但这些方案在军事人员中尚未得到充分研究。这一研究机构还指出，需要制定战略来加强收益，以维持短暂干预(BI)效果，但对这些干预措施的“助推器”还没有得到很好的研究。基于网络的干预措施和助推器等新兴技术为为陆军国民警卫队(NG)等军事人员量身定制SBIRT干预措施和解决地理障碍提供了机会。此外，同行外联干预在军事社区中的接受度很高。伙伴对伙伴伙伴支持计划将得到加强，以便在本研究中包括AOS的滥用，该计划已成功地用于NG装置。这项拟议的研究将在30个月的注册期内筛选约4300名独特的个人，作为密歇根陆军NG的士兵准备过程的一部分，以确定750名年龄在18-60岁之间的参与者是否酗酒和/或处方阿片类药物或镇静剂滥用。通过触摸屏电脑平板电脑进行筛选，将用于招募在前3个月内有酒精/处方阿片类药物或镇静剂滥用的NG成员。参与者将被随机分为三种情况之一：1)网络传播的酒精/处方药滥用短期干预与网络强化课程(W+W；n=250)；2)网络传播的短暂干预与同行传播的强化课程(W+P；n=250)；或3)加强日常护理(EUC；n=250)。这项研究的目的是开发、改进和测试具有不同持续增强剂的量身定制的激励性BIS(Web与Peer)，并进行一项随机对照试验，比较这些BIS(W+W；W+P)与常规护理在随后的酒精/药物消费和后果方面的疗效，包括注册后4个月、8个月和12个月的伤害、心理和身体健康功能以及艾滋病毒危险行为。随机分配将按性别和酒精与处方阿片类药物/镇静剂滥用进行分层。这项拟议的研究将直接向领导层和主要利益相关者通报基于最先进技术的国际清算银行，结合网络助推器或同行外展，在NG军事人员中打击美国预备役部队和现役士兵中日益扩大的酒精/处方药问题的影响。如果成功，这项研究的结果将加强对普通人群的翻译，并可能对公共卫生产生重大影响。
