Filter by:To analyze driving behavior of individuals under the influence of alcohol while driving in a real car. Based on the in-vehicle variables, the investigators aim at establishing algorithms capable of discriminating sober and drunk driving using machine learning.
This research will evaluate a new intervention that integrates evidence-based alcohol intervention strategies and promising sexual assault prevention strategies with the goal of decreasing sexual aggression among men who report heavy drinking; a particularly high risk group. Specifically, this study will conduct a randomized controlled pilot trial with college men who report heavy drinking to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed intervention. The main questions the study will answer are: 1) what is the feasibility of the recruitment plans, research design, intervention training methods, and delivery of the program?; and 2) does the intervention, relative to a mindfulness-based control condition, produce reductions in the quantity and frequency of alcohol use, perpetration of sexual aggression, and attitudes associated with sexual aggression over the 2- and 6-month follow-up. Follow-up assessments are completed at 2- and 6-months following the program. The intervention is compared to the mindfulness-based control group.
Unhealthy alcohol consumption is common in the UK and causes tremendous harm to the individual, as well as harm to others. A significant gap in providing alcohol support is that most people with unhealthy alcohol consumption will never receive advice to cut down on their drinking. However, many are interested in self-directed interventions to help them evaluate their drinking and to motivate reductions in alcohol use. One such promising intervention uses online personalised normative feedback (PNF) which compares a person's drinking with others in the general population of the same age and sex. PNF interventions are thought to work because many people with unhealthy alcohol consumption overestimate how much others drink. Multiple trials have demonstrated that providing PNF to people with unhealthy consumption reduces their alcohol use . While several UK websites do provide feedback on assessment of risk (e.g., Down Your Drink introductory section, Alcohol Change UK), there appears to be no online intervention that provides PNF for unhealthy alcohol consumption. The major objective of this pilot project is to conduct a two-arm, parallel group randomised controlled trial (RCT) in which 1,318 participants recruited from the Prolific website who have identified themselves as drinking 14 or more units per week are randomly assigned to one of two groups - a) those who are offered a PNF report, and b) those in a no intervention comparator group. Participants in the comparator group will not be provided any intervention materials but will instead be given a list of the different components of the PNF feedback and will be asked to think about how useful they would find each of them. Follow-up assessment will occur at 1 and 6 months post-randomisation. The project is described as a pilot because it is a preliminary evaluation of the PNF intervention in a UK context.
The goal of this Randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a peer-led intervention to prevent alcohol consumption in university students. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does a peer-led brief motivational intervention reduce the quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption among university students? - Does a peer-led brief motivational intervention reduce the negative consequences experienced by university students due to alcohol consumption? Participants will: - Complete a baseline online questionnaire (before the intervention) and one month after receiving the intervention. - Participants in the intervention group will receive a brief motivational intervention. Researchers will compare intervention and control group to see if there are statistically significant differences in relation to alcohol consumption.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of mobile app containing a range of evidence based tools to improve the mental health and substance use outcomes of university students.
Family-involved treatments for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) hold considerable promise to improve engagement and compliance with treatment and improve treatment outcomes. Currently, however, these treatments are time-intensive and difficult to learn and to integrate with on-going clinical treatment. Consistent with the general trend toward briefer treatments, we propose to develop a brief, 3-session, family-involved treatment that can be incorporated into a variety of other AUD treatment modalities. If successful, the treatment may increase the efficiency and effectiveness of AUD treatment.
Brief behavioral intervention designed from the guidelines of the Theory of Planned Action (TAP) of Ajzen (1991). It has the general objective of reducing the intention and hazardous and harmful consumption of alcohol in young university students in the first year of their undergraduate degree. The following specific objectives are considered: (a) Impact on the personal and descriptive norm by modifying the perception of the actual use of alcohol and its level of acceptance among the population of university students. (b) Modify attitudes towards consumption by reducing the value attributed to the expectations associated with risky alcohol consumption. (c) Increase perceived behavioral control and self-efficacy to avoid alcohol consumption behavior by: establishing a goal, consumption planning, and increase assertive communication.(d) Reduce the negative consequences of the use of alcohol in different situations of young people through pleasant healthy activities. e) Increase the intention to seek help for alcohol-related problems.The intervention will be developed through 3 phases. The first phase corresponds to the pre-intervention evaluation, the second phase concerns the two intervention sessions and the third phase is the post-intervention evaluation. Hypothesis: The mean alcohol consumption will be lower in young adults with hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption in the experimental group who received a brief online intervention compared to the control group.
The overarching goal of the proposed project is to develop an innovative, online synchronous DV and AU prevention curriculum created specifically for SGMY (ages 15 to 18); conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess its feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and study procedures; identify preliminary outcomes of the intervention; and ensure that the intervention is working equally well for SGMY of color.
This is an early-Phase II human laboratory trial using a randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging design to investigate the effects of semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, on alcohol-related outcomes in adults with alcohol use disorder (AUD).
It is estimated that around 20% of breast cancers (BC) in the UK are preventable through adherence to appropriate health behaviours, i.e., healthy diet, physical activity, limited alcohol, not smoking, and that women at increased risk of BC could benefit from greater decreases in risk than the general population via health behaviour changes. Young women (age <35 years) who are at increased risk of developing BC currently receive little or no information regarding health behaviours and BC risk, or support for behaviour change. This feasibility study aims to explore whether a novel app is acceptable to women at increased risk and could potentially engage them with improved health behaviours which could reduce their future risk of BC.
