About

This study utilizes implementation science principles to culturally adapt a pre-existing web-based application (WebApp) for use with college students. The ADAPT-ITT process will be utilized to adapt the WebApp to a diverse (race, ethnicity, gender/sexual identity) college population with a focus on life skills and holistic self-care as reinforcement to currently available primary prevention programming available to incoming students. The study hypothesis is that the adapted WebApp will be usable, acceptable, and students will be willing to use it as a reinforcement to current university primary prevention programming. The study team will also monitor retention of participants over the academic year.
