Project Description
For Project TIME, we are recruiting Black college students to conduct research interviews. We are asking participants to give us suggestions on the ways in which to make mindfulness using mobile health tools more attractive to Black college students who drink alcohol. Ultimately, we will use the data from the interviews to culturally tailor a mobile health mindfulness app for Black college students. Mindfulness can help manage stress but historically has not been culturally tailored for Black students.Research Tasks: Data collection, literature review, data analysis
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Recommended: Comfort with assisting with in-person recruitment (required), familiarity with reviewing scientific articles
