Description
Project SHIFT is developing an innovative user-centered web-based intervention to reduce alcohol-related harm among young adults. We are going to pilot test the intervention to assess engagement as well as efficacy.In Phase 1 of the pilot project, we will develop and refine the intervention content, design, and deliverability through a multi-step, iterative process called rapid prototyping. Participants will provide user feedback on intervention mockups (i.e., prototypes) to make refinements to content, design, and delivery – ultimately yielding a more engaging, user-approved intervention platform.
Once the intervention is developed and fully programmed, Phase 2 will entail a pilot RCT of the intervention.
Our lab needs assistance in testing and refining the rapid prototyping phase of the study. This will include some time spent with the coordinator and PI and an opportunity to provide feedback to the study team.
Minimum Requirements
We are looking for conscientious individuals who are motivated to gain experience in clinical research, including preparation for graduate programs.We require basic experience with the Microsoft Suite. We use the Qualtrics survey platform which can be taught.
