This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) grant program, provides $262,406 to the University of Washington to develop and pilot test a user-customizable, personalized normative feedback intervention for alcohol harm reduction in young adults.
The project involves two phases: (1) user-centered development and refinement of the web-based intervention through a rapid prototyping process, and (2) a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability, engagement, and preliminary efficacy of the customizable personalized normative feedback (CPNF) intervention. The goal is to create a novel CPNF paradigm that allows users to explore normative feedback tailored to various referent groups beyond just the "typical student", in order to provide more equitable prevention and improve the effect sizes of personalized normative feedback interventions for reducing alcohol use and related harms in young adults. The project period runs from September 20, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
