- It provides a brief intervention with tailored feedback based on individual survey responses.
- This study focused on assessing the acceptability and perceived quality of the Grog App's brief intervention within an Aboriginal residential rehabilitation setting.
Purpose Of The Study
- To qualitatively assess the acceptability and perceived quality of the Grog App's brief intervention.
- To gather feedback from higher-risk consumers and health providers at an Aboriginal residential rehabilitation centre.
Main Methods
- A descriptive qualitative study was conducted.
- Feedback was collected from 20 clients and 10 staff members at a drug and alcohol residential rehabilitation service.
