BIMI is a 15-minute brief interview in person or via video chat with participating youth. The interview will be focused on discussing the impact of drinking alcohol on one's health and how to set personal goals so that alcohol use does not become a problem. A follow up phone or video call at 3 and 6 months post initial interview will also be conducted which will track on the progress of setting and keeping personal goals.
The program is adapted from the Guiding Good Choices (GGC) program and will be conducted by a trained facilitator lasting for about 2 hours per session. The program discusses about the best ways to help one's child make good decisions with regards to avoiding alcohol, drugs, and other problem behaviors that may not be healthy to them as well as ways to have good communication and good connections within one's family.
