    Proposed Collection: iWin: Navigating your Path to Well-Being, 0925-NEW, National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

    Need and Use of Information Collection: The overarching objective of this proposal is to conduct a Start Printed Page 10640randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the Individual Well-Being Navigator (iWin) mobile application, a substance abuse prevention and well-being enhancement program designed specifically for military personnel. This mobile application provides an innovative, tailored mobile application using best practices in behavior change science and innovative technology to assist military personnel in preventing substance abuse and enhancing well-being by providing them with the most appropriate intervention content at the right time. It integrates Trans-theoretical Model of Behavior Change based tailoring, SMS messaging, stage of change matched activities, and engaging game-like features in a cutting edge multiple behavior change program. The first year of this project will focus on the completion of development and beta testing of the app. In year 2, the efficacy of the iWin program will be determined by tests of statistical significance indicating that participants in the Treatment condition had lower scores on an index of substance use and other behavioral risks than the control group at 6 and 9 month follow-up. The overall design is a 2 group (treatment and control group) by 3 Occasions with repeated measures across occasions. Once shown to be effective, the iWin program will assist organizations that serve military personnel to meet the directives of both the Department of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff indicating that prevention programs be evidence based, evaluated by the specified populations and address full Total Force Fitness paradigm rather than a single behavior.

    OMB approval is requested for 1 year. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,557.
