This study will use a SMART (Sequential, Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial) design to optimize adaptive interventions (AIs) for adolescents reporting alcohol misuse and violent behaviors. The study will test the efficacy of state-of-the-art adaptive intervention delivery approaches (text messaging, remote therapy) for reducing alcohol use and violent behaviors among urban teens. Given the morbidly/mortality associated with alcohol use and violence, this study will have significant impact by using a SMART design to identify the optimal intervention strategy to produce and sustain outcomes among at-risk youth.
The specific aims are to: 1) Compare the efficacy of adaptive interventions (AIs) that begin with BI+TM (brief intervention + text messaging) vs. BI+HC (brief intervention + remote health coach) on reducing alcohol misuse and violent behaviors among youth while in the Emergency Department (ED); and, 2) Identify the most efficacious second-stage strategy post-ED visit for those who initially respond and for those who do not. Specifically, 700 youth (ages 14-20) in the ED screening positive for alcohol use and violent behaviors will be randomly assigned to: BI+TM or BI+HC. After receiving the SafERteens BI in the ED, youth will complete weekly assessments over an 8 week period to tailor intervention content and measure mechanisms of change, with one month determination of participant response (e.g., binge drinking, violence). Responders in each arm will be re-randomized to continued condition (e.g., stay the course or maintenance), or reduced condition (e.g., stepped down). Non-responders will be re-randomized to continued condition (e.g., stay the course or maintenance), or intensified condition (e.g., stepped up). Follow-up assessments will take place at 4 and 8 months post-baseline.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Treatment | Experimental | Participants will be randomized to first treatment to compare Brief Intervention + Health Coach (Step 1 Treatment BI+HC) to Brief Intervention + Text Messages (Step 1 Treatment BI+TM). Participants in the BI+HC will receive a BI in the ED, followed by weekly sessions with the Health Coach for 4 weeks. Participants in the BI+TM will receive a BI in the ED, followed by daily TMs for 4 weeks. |
|
| Second Treatment for Responders and Non-Responders | Experimental | Beginning in week 5, all participants will be classified as Responders or Non-Responders (based on weekly assessments) and re-randomized. Step 2 Treatment Responders: Responders will be randomized to either stay the course or be stepped down. Specifically, participants in the BI+HC will either continue to receive the HC or stepped down to receive a control brochure; participants in the BI+TM will either continue to receive the TM or stepped down to receive a control brochure. Step 2 Treatment Non-Responders: Non-Responders will be randomized to either stay the course or be stepped up. Specifically, participants in the BI+HC will either continue to receive the HC or stepped up to receive a HC+; participants in the BI+TM will either continue to receive the TM or stepped up to receive HC. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Step 1 Treatment BI+HC | Behavioral | Participants in the Brief intervention + Health Coach (BI+HC) will receive a BI in the ED, followed by weekly sessions with the Health Coach for 4 weeks, which will occur by phone or in person. During sessions, the HC will review the prior week's progress, and discuss goals and plans for the following week. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Alcohol Consumption | Alcohol consumption will be assessed using the 30-day Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB). The TLFB will capture information on the frequency and quantity of alcohol use including binge drinking, with total consumption calculated. | 4 months and 8 months post baseline |
| Change in Physical Violence | Physical violence will be assessed using the 30-day Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB). The TLFB will capture information on the frequency and severity of violent behaviors (e.g. push, shove, slap, kick, punch, weapon/firearm use or carriage etc.), with total violence calculated weighted by severity. | 4 months and 8 months post baseline |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Alcohol Consequences | Alcohol related consequences will be measured using the Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (YAACQ). This study will use a 24-item scale with the following responses (and values): 0 = None
The responses will be summed for a total score. | 4 months and 8 months post baseline |

| Step 1 Treatment BI+TM | Behavioral | Participants in the Brief intervention + Text messages (BI+TM) will receive a BI in the ED, followed by daily TMs for 4 weeks. TM's are tailored based on weekly surveys and focus on motives for alcohol and violence and strategies to reduce involvement. |
|
| Step 2 Treatment Responders | Behavioral | Participants in the BI+HC assigned to stay the course (e.g., continue to receive the HC) will have 4 more weekly sessions with the HC. Participants in the BI+TM assigned to stay the course (e.g., continue to receive the TM) will receive 4 more weeks of TM. Participants in the BI+HC or BI+TM assigned to stepped down control will receive a brochure containing community resources. |
|
| Step 2 Treatment Non-Responders | Behavioral | Participants in the BI+HC assigned to be stepped up will receive HC+, which will consist of weekly sessions as well as on daily TMs from the HC. Participants in the BI+HC assigned to stay the course (e.g., continue to receive the HC) will have 4 more weekly sessions with the HC. Participants in the BI+TM assigned to be stepped up will receive the HC, which consists of 4 weekly sessions with the HC. Participants in the BI+TM assigned to stay the course (e.g., continue to receive the TM) will receive 4 more weeks of TM. |
|
| Change in Violence Consequences | Violence related consequences will be assessed using 13 items with following responses (and values): 0 = None
These items will assess consequences such as injury, arrest, trouble at school or work, arguments or trouble getting along with friends and/or family members, feeling guilty, unable to stop/desire to fight, and worry or revenge as a result of participant's fighting. Responses are summed to create a total score. | 4 months and 8 months post baseline |
