Community I-STAR Mozambique: Community Implementation of SBIRT Using Technology for Alcohol Use Reduction in Mozambique

Mozambique540 participantsStarted 2021-10-01

Plain-language summary

Hazardous drinking (HD) is a major public health burden worldwide with significant morbidity and mortality. To reduce HD, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends using Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). Mobile health technology (mHealth), such as the mSBIRT app, is a promising tool for widespread cost-effective delivery of evidence-based HDS by community health workers (CHWs) because of its potential to increase fidelity, effectiveness, and sustainability. Community I-STAR Mozambique comprises three phases: 1) mSBIRT adaptation, 2) a cluster-randomized trial, and 3) scale-up of the most cost-effective intervention. Community I-STAR Mozambique will scale-up a cost effective, sustainable program and inform policy applicable to Mozambique and other LMICs.
