- Last Updated:02/22/2024
If you identify yourself as Black, are 18 years of age or older, and have a current problem with alcohol use, or alcohol and other substance use, you may be eligible to participate in a free and confidential study that will evaluate receiving substance use treatment in a church setting. Compensation up to $530.
The aim of this project is to decrease barriers faced by Black individuals who have alcohol problems and assess whether a computer-based treatment program offered in a Black church is a good way to increase access to care versus standard treatment at a clinic.
