Talking about drinking for Indigenous adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if talking with a specially trained helper (motivational interviewing) can help Indigenous adults who drink alcohol reduce their risky drinking. It has two phases: first, to make sure questionnaires are clear, and second, a small study to see if the talking method works.
