Scaling Up: A Multi-Site Trial of e-SBI for Alcohol Use in Pregnancy

Description

The purpose of this research study is to find out if pregnant women screening positive for alcohol risk like the brief alcohol intervention application that the investigators have developed (called the MommyCheckup, which is a technology-delivered SBIRT, or e-SBIRT), and if it helps them to reduce alcohol use. The investigators also wish to test whether e-SBIRT effects can be enhanced by booster sessions and/or tailored text messages.
