A mobile health intervention for emerging adults with regular cannabis use: A micro-randomized pilot trial design protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging adult (EA) cannabis use is associated with increased risk for health consequences. Just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) provide potential for preventing the escalation and consequences of cannabis use. Powered by mobile devices, JITAIs use decision rules that take the person's state and context as input, and output a recommended intervention (e.g., alternative activities, coping strategies). The mHealth literature on JITAIs is nascent, with additional research needed to identify what intervention content to deliver when and to whom.

Methods

Herein we describe the protocol for a pilot study testing the feasibility and acceptability of a micro-randomized trial for optimizing MiWaves mobile intervention app for EAs (ages 18-25; target N = 120) with r
