Automated Feedback |
Using the answers provided in the baseline assessments, the Web-based program provides feedback on drugs used, known health consequences of drug use, and estimated annual cost of their drug use. |
Identification of Core Values |
Women are asked to reflect on the things that “matter most to them” and then select a single “core value” from a menu of options (e.g., Children, God/Spirituality, Wealth/Prosperity, Physical Health) |
Empowerment | A series of empowerment videos are offered throughout the program, depicting real women who tell stories of how drug use and IPV affected their core values, how they were able to reduce drug use and IPV, and the positive outcomes of these changes. |
Goal Setting | Participants are asked to select one goal for reducing the use of their self-identified problem drug; after doing this, the program raises the possibility that IPV or a history of IPV may make changes in drug use challenging and asks the participant to select one goal around seeking help for relationship safety. |
Social Supports | Participants are asked to identify one person they can care share their goals with who can support them. |
Advice | Participants receive information about alternate behaviors to drug use. |
Referrals | Participants are provided IPV, substance use and primary care resources. |
Summary | Participants receive a one-page print out of their goals, social supports, empowerment messages evoking video content, and referral resources. |
