A Technology-Enhanced Intervention for Violence and Substance Use Prevention Among Young Black Men: Protocol for Adaptation and Pilot Testing
Overview
This protocol outlines the adaptation and pilot testing of BrotherlyACT, a digital intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy designed for young Black men aged 15-24 involved in violence or substance use. The study employs a three-phase approach involving qualitative interviews with youth and providers, participatory design with advisory boards, and a single-group pilot test to assess feasibility. The resource details the methodology for developing this culturally congruent tool intended to mitigate barriers to service engagement.
