Assessing the Accessibility and Feasibility of a Mobile Intervention to Address Cannabis Use Disorder among Black Adults

African American/Black adults are more likely than White and Hispanic/Latin individuals to meet criteria for cannabis use disorder (CUD). More likely to use cannabis to manage distress, therefore engaging in a false safety behaviors. No prior studies have assessed FSB reduction/elimination within the framework of a culturally tailored and readily accessible treatment designed for Black cannabis users with probable CUD. The current study tested a culturally-tailored mobile intervention that utilizes FSB reduction/elimination skills for cannabis use reduction/cessation designed by our research team for Black adults with probable CUD (CT-MICART). To assess the app's feasibility, the System Usability Scale (SUS) was administered to participants 6-weeks post enrollment. Additionally, a qualitative interview was conducted to obtain participant feedback on their app satisfaction. Participants reported "good" system usability on average according to the SUS (75.2, SD = 17.8), indicating that the app was perceived as "acceptable" by participants. Out of those asked "On a scale of 1 to 9 where 1 means definitely no and 9 means definitely yes, how likely would you be to recommend this app to someone who is trying to quit or reduce marijuana?" at the qualitative interview, 59.1% reported "9", 9.1% reported "9",18.2% reported "7", 4.5% reported a "3" and 9.1% reported a "1". Participant feedback on CT-MICART will be used to guide refinement and further adaptation of the mobile intervention to ensure we have a high-quality, culturally relevant, scientifically supported app.
