Dr. Jessica Willoughby presented on research conducted by members of the MAC Lab at the fall WSU Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Program retreat. The presentation, titled “Digital media for prevention: Developing and evaluating health communication interventions,” highlighted work from Murrow faculty related to substance misuse prevention before highlighting one specific MAC Lab team project funded through the ADARP mechanism. The project was a collaboration with members of the WSU College of Nursing.
The project focused on creating an intervention to reduce cannabis use among pregnant women. An article describing the intervention was previously published in the journal Psychology of Addictive Behaviors.
