First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 37 times
Summary
This study tests a single 75-minute counseling session called CAMI, which is a motivational interview adapted for Latino/a immigrants who drink heavily. Researchers will train community health workers to deliver CAMI at a primary care clinic and follow 220 participants for 12 months to see if it reduces heavy drinking days, drug use, and anxiety or depression symptoms. The goal is to see if this culturally tailored approach works in a real-world setting and can help reduce substance use disparities.
