Reducing Methamphetamine Use in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities With the “We Can Do This” Web App: Qualitative Evaluation of Acceptability and Feasibility

Process evaluation is often under-valued. However, as "We Can Do This" was new, innovative and targeted a hard-to-reach population, understanding its feasibility and acceptability as a clinical tool was essential to understanding its potential. "We Can Do This" is unique as the only evidence-based, culturally appropriate internet-based therapeutic program specifically designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who use methamphetamine. Findings suggest it was both acceptable and feasible as a low-cost adjunct to usual care in residential rehabilitation and primary care settings.

Abstract

Process evaluation is often under-valued. However, as "We Can Do This" was new, innovative and targeted a hard-to-reach population, understanding its feasibility and acceptability as a clinical tool was essential to understanding its potential. "We Can Do This" is unique as the only evidence-based, culturally appropriate internet-based therapeutic program specifically designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who use methamphetamine. Findings suggest it was both acceptable and feasible as a low-cost adjunct to usual care in residential rehabilitation and primary care settings.
