Filter by:FITSTART (Feedback Intervention Targeting Student Transitions and Risk Trajectories) is a parent-based social norms intervention that has been shown to reduce risky drinking in incoming first year students.This program uses normative feedback to correct parents overestimation of other parents negative alcohol-related parenting practices (e.g., number of drinks parents would permit their college student to consume). Theory and research suggests that correcting those common misperceptions can motivate parents to adjust their own behaviors (e.g., reducing the number of drinks they would permit), which, in turn, can impact college student drinking. Despite FITSTARTs success, the design of the program limits participation to only students who have parents who can attend on-campus orientation sessions during the summer months before the start of the Fall semester. To address this limitation and extend the previous work, the proposed randomized clinical trial (RCT) will evaluate the efficacy of an online adaptation of the FITSTART(+) PBI program. To examine the efficacy of the newly developed FITSTART+ PBI web app, the proposed RCT will use a longitudinal design to examine if students self-report drinking and related negative consequences during their first semester in college significantly differed between FITSTART+ PBI (intervention app) and a control version of the app. Self-reported drinking and consequences are expected to be lower amongst students with parents randomized to FITSTART+ PBI relative to those with parents randomized to the control app.
This project will test the effects of a telehealth counseling program on reducing alcohol use and improving HIV viral control among people with HIV who drink heavily. In total, 600 heavy drinkers with HIV will be assigned to either (a) a single session of brief counseling on alcohol use or (b) brief counseling plus referral to a telehealth counseling program that includes multiple sessions of counseling by videoconferencing and text messaging support. To understand the effects of the program, participants' alcohol use, HIV outcomes, and health will be assessed over a 2-year period.
Blended Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder (BLEND-A) is a pragmatic, cluster randomized controlled trial to assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of implementing a blended treatment format that aims to reduce problematic alcohol use. Blended treatment is a treatment format where treatment as usual is offered as a combination of online and face-to-face sessions, integrated into one treatment protocol. The BLEND-A study will evaluate and implement a blended treatment program in routine alcohol addiction treatment. The trial is led by Unit of Clinical Alcohol Research, University of Southern Denmark (UCAR) in collaboration with partners at the Centre for Telepsychiatry in the Region of Southern Denmark (CTP), and Sundhed.dk.
To examine whether variation in 'risk-taking' personality and linked genetic variants predicts susceptibility to, and resilience against, stress-induced alcohol misuse.
For this protocol, the investigators plan to collect pilot data to examine the effect of endotoxin on drinking behavior in the human laboratory.
The primary objective of the proposed Stage II study is to examine the efficacy of oxytocin (OT) as compared to placebo in reducing (1) alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms, and (2) post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among Veterans receiving COPE therapy (Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and Substance Use Disorders using Prolonged Exposure). To evaluate purported neurobiological mechanisms of change, we will employ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at pre- and post-treatment.
This study was a randomized prevention trial investigating the efficacy of the Adults in the Making (AIM) prevention program against a control condition. The primary outcome variable is alcohol use. The study sample were 367 African American seniors in high school and their primary caregivers. The AIM program is a 6 session (12 hour) family-centered intervention designed to deter alcohol use.
Background: Alcohol use among college students causes health and social problems. However, even when available, many students do not access alcohol interventions. Web-based Personalized Normative Feedback (PNF) has been used to disseminate alcohol brief-interventions, and evidence supports PNF efficacy in reducing alcohol consumption among this population. On the other hand, studies on PNF mediators and moderators are scarce, limiting the knowledge on the mechanisms of change and conditions in which their effects occur. Objective: to evaluate whether normative perceptions mediate, and motivation to receive the intervention, moderates the effects of a web-based PNF intervention (Pesquisa Universitária sobre Bebidas - PUB 2.0) for alcohol use among Brazilian college students. Methods: Pragmatic randomized controlled trial among college students aged 18 and over and with follow-up assessments after 1, 3 and 6 months. Participants will be randomized into a Control group (assessment only) or to receive the updated version of the intervention (PUB 2.0). Outcomes are the typical number of drinks (primary outcome) and the total number of drinks consumed, drinking frequency, maximum number of drinks consumed and number of consequences (secondary outcomes). Statistical analyses will consider Structural Equation Models and significance level of 5%. This study will improve knowledge on how and in which conditions a web-based alcohol PNF effects occur, helping tailor future strategies to reduce the impact of alcohol problems among college students.
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. A total of 128 subjects will be randomly assigned to a test group or placebo group in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects will receive vortioxetine (or placebo) and acamprosate for 6 weeks according to the treatment group. Four visits will be made (weeks 0, 2, 4, 8), and on visit 2-4 (weeks 2, 4, 8) compliance, depression symptoms, and alcohol craving will be assessed.
The Primary objective is to explore ambulance service attendance at incidents involving alcohol and/or substance use over the period of the pandemic lockdown, and the following months. This will be to determine prevalence and explore factors such as patient gender, age, ethnicity or location. Analysis will examine the calls over the course of the year prior to the lockdown, and then compare this to the period of lockdown and following months.
