Randomized Controlled Trial Demonstrates Efficacy of a Culturally Adapted Behavioral Intervention Delivered in Spanish by Community Health Workers to Reduce Unhealthy Alcohol Use Among Latino/as
A culturally adapted behavioral intervention, combining MET and SBCM, delivered by Spanish-speaking CHWs significantly reduced unhealthy alcohol use among Latino/as. These results are promising in addressing health disparities, though continued research is essential to further reduce unhealthy drinking and advance health equity for Latino/as.
