Abstract

Background

Studies indicate that same-sex attracted women (SSAW) who engage in problem drinking often do not seek support. This is at least partially due to a lack of SSAW-tailored alcohol programs. This paper describes the co-development of a short message service (SMS) alcohol program culturally tailored for SSAW.

Method

We applied the systematic stages of the Intervention Mapping framework to guide development, and used a combination of literature reviews and focus group discussions.

Results

The initial needs assessment identified three change objectives: 1) reduce alcohol consumption, 2) improved wellbeing, and 3) increased help-seeking, and three change determinants: a) motivation, b) self-regulatory ability, and c) social support. Based on a selection of relevant BCTs we then developed 70 initial SMS statements, 37 of which were selected through codesign for the final program. The resulting program (referred to as The Step One Program) consists of one to two daily SMS messages over a four-week period.

Conclusions

The Step One Program is the first published SMS-based alcohol intervention for SSAW. During development, SSAW highlighted increased anonymity and better accessibility as compared to face-to-face services as well as the inclusion of SSAW and LGBT specific resources and culturally inclusive messaging as key benefits.

利用干预绘图框架，为同性吸引的妇女制定基于短信的酒精干预方案

研究表明，有酗酒问题的同性吸引女性（SSAW）通常不寻求帮助。这至少部分是由于缺乏ssaw量身定制的酒精项目。本文描述了为SSAW量身定制的文化短信服务（SMS）酒精程序的共同开发。方法采用干预映射框架的系统阶段指导开发，并采用文献综述和焦点小组讨论相结合的方法。结果最初的需求评估确定了三个改变目标：1)减少酒精消费，2)改善幸福感，3)增加寻求帮助，以及三个改变决定因素：a)动机，b)自我调节能力，c)社会支持。根据相关btc的选择，我们随后制定了70个初始短信声明，其中37个通过共同设计选择用于最终程序。由此产生的程序（称为第一步程序）包括在四周内每天发送一到两条短信。第一步计划是针对SSAW的第一个基于短信的酒精干预。在开发过程中，与面对面服务相比，SSAW强调了更高的匿名性和更好的可访问性，并将SSAW和LGBT特定资源的包含以及文化包容性信息作为主要优势。

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
