This paper will constitute the first public reporting of outcome data from the Project CHOICES Feasibility Study. The primary analyses will involve six-month follow-up findings pooled across sites and addressing the questions of how many participants successfully avoided the risk of an alcohol-exposed pregnancy and by what routes the reduction occurred (i.e., reduced drinking below risk levels, contracepted effectively, or both). Partial successes (reduced risk but not complete avoidance of risk) will also be presented in terms of the extent of reduction in drinking or improvement in effective contraception achieved. Predictors of successful outcome will be presented based upon comparison of successful and unsuccessful cases. Preliminary conclusions and suggestions for further research will be offered.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this paper, participants will be able to articulate key outcomes of the Project CHOICES intervention such as change in risky drinking and inadequate contraception among 200+ women from 6 special settings.
