Summary
The current project seeks to implement the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) and Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) principles to identify the most efficient, scalable, and sustainable combination of Community Wise components. Community Wise is a manualized multi-level intervention aimed at reducing health inequalities related to alcohol and illicit drug use (AIDU).This 2x2x2x2 factorial design will be fully powered to detect change in AIDU in a sample of 528 men with substance use disorders and a history of incarceration residing in distressed communities with predominantly Black populations. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of sixteen experimental conditions.
