About the Course

The study “Using a Multi-Module Web-App to Prevent Substance Use Among Students at a Hispanic Serving Institution: Development and Evaluation Design” explores the design and implementation of the iSTART web-app. This innovative mHealth intervention targets substance use prevention in college students through five interactive modules covering alcohol, marijuana, nicotine, prescription drugs, and illicit drugs. Leveraging behavior change strategies such as normative re-education, refusal skills, and personalized feedback, the app aims to increase knowledge, alter risk perceptions, and improve self-efficacy among participants. The study highlights the potential of culturally relevant, technology-based approaches to address substance use in diverse college populations.

This course is based on the reading online article, Using a Multi-module Web-app to Prevent Substance Use Among Students At a Hispanic Serving Institution created by Bethany K. W. Rainisch et al in 2022.
