Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: SBIRT/eIntervention those assessed with high risk.Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects assigned to this condition will be instructed by the research assistant in how to download and use the eIntervention app, which they will be free to use as they like for the duration of the study. The app will contain a personalized suite of programs and activities. Unlike the TAU condition, the patient's referral to treatment would be managed through eIntervention. For example, the app will show the patient their referral details (if a referral to treatment was made), including details on the provider, referred services, and contact information, and will offer them videos of peers and professionals educating them on addiction, treatment, and sharing personal stories of recovery.
