Georgia State University120 enrolled

Overview

The goal is this pilot randomized trial is to learn if intervention 1 is feasible and acceptable. A secondary aim is to learn if intervention 1 reduces alcohol misuse and tobacco use in sexual assault survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is intervention 1 feasible to implement? * Is intervention 1 an acceptable intervention among the primary population, sexual assault survivors? * Does intervention 1 reduce alcohol misuse and tobacco use? Researchers will compare intervention 1 to an attention-placebo control group (e.g., online resources on healthy eating and nutrition). Participants will: * take online surveys at baseline, 1 month follow-up, and 3-month follow-up * answer text-message questions at baseline and post-test * view and engage in an educational program

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Recruitment and retention of 70% of the sample at 3-month follow-up

Feasibility of the sample is assessed by recruitment and retention of at least 70% participants at 3 month follow-up

Time frame: 3 month follow-up

Acceptability of the mindfulness-based intervention benchmark of 80% self-reported acceptability

Self-reported assessment of the following domains: quality, usefulness, relevancy, extent to which situations depicted are realistic, extent to which attitudes changed on alcohol and tobacco use, and managing stress. Higher scores indicate higher perceived acceptability of the intervention in the indicated domains (e.g., quality, usefulness, relevancy, extent to which situations depicted are realistic, extent to which attitudes changed on alcohol and tobacco use, and managing stress).

Time frame: immediate post-test
