A qualitative exploration of young adults’ perceptions of a new intervention for alcohol use disorder

Due to the rising prevalence of alcohol use disorders among young adults, the need for effective and accessible interventions has become increasingly imperative. In acknowledgment of this issue, we developed a novel intervention known as contingency management plus problem solving therapy (CM-PST). The aim of the current study was to gain insight into the perspectives on the effectiveness of the newly developed CM-PST using focus group discussion among young adults who consume alcohol regularly. The study employed a qualitative research design, utilizing focus group discussions as the primary data collection method. Participants described their perceptions regarding the newly developed CM-PST. Semi-structured focus group sessions were conducted via Zoom in November 2022. A total of 19 young adults, aged 18-24 years old, participated in five focus group sessions. Data were analyzed using deductive content analysis. Participants demonstrated overall positive attitudes toward the novel intervention, recognizing the potential benefits, it could offer in terms of alcohol use reduction and emotional well-being. They emphasized the importance of incentives in motivating behavioral changes, as well as the practicality of problem-solving techniques in addressing everyday challenges. Additionally, participants provided valuable insights into potential barriers and implementation challenges, highlighting the need for flexible and personalized approaches to accommodate individual preferences and needs. The results of this study contribute to the growing body of literature on innovative intervention approaches for young adults facing alcohol use issues. The findings shed light on the acceptability and perceived effectiveness of the CM-PST intervention from the perspective of the target population.</p
