This project will evaluate the effectiveness and mechanisms of mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) delivered via video conferencing, as compared to referral to online mutual support groups, in supporting long-term whole-person recovery and improvements in neurobiologically-informed domains of addiction among individuals with alcohol use disorder who are interested in reducing or stopping drinking. The project will also examine the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of MBRP as an accessible and freely available continuing care option that supports long-term recovery from alcohol use disorder in all communities nationwide, including medically underserved and health professional shortage areas.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if exercise can reduce alcohol craving in heavy social alcohol drinkers. The main questions this project aims to answer are 1) compared to a distraction activity (i.e., coloring), will mild-to-moderate intensity exercise (i.e., walking on a treadmill) reduce alcohol craving; 2) compared to a distraction, will mild-to-moderate intensity exercise reduce the amount of consumption of an alcohol-placebo beverage.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a stepped care behavioral intervention for HIV medication adherence and substance use ("Khanya") integrated into an HIV primary care setting in South Africa. The intervention is specifically designed to be implemented by non-specialist counselors with lived substance use experience (i.e., peers), using a task sharing, stepped care model in local primary care clinics. The Khanya stepped care package will be compared to usual care, enhanced with referral to a local outpatient substance use treatment program (Enhanced Standard of Care - ESOC) over 12 months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of screening for liver disease with liver stiffness measurement on abstinence or light consumption after 6 months in individuals who are receiving treatment for alcohol use disorder and without a history of liver disease. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial with concealed allocation comparing A) an invitation to a liver stiffness measurement, blood sampling and leaflet on alcohol-related disease (intervention) with B) an invitation to blood sampling (control). The primary outcome is 'abstinence or light consumption' (≤ 10 units/week) throughout the last months, and assessed 6 months after randomization.
This pragmatic, cluster-randomized trial in adult primary care clinics in a healthcare system with a diverse membership will examine the effectiveness of an innovative, multi-faceted intervention, the Addiction Telemedicine Consultant (ATC) service using clinical pharmacists to facilitate alcohol use problems and alcohol use disorder (AUD) pharmacotherapy and specialty addiction treatment entry.
This study, which is part of the Zambia Alabama HIV Alcohol Comorbidities Program funded by NIH-NIAAA, is designed to examine the efficacy of brief and in-depth cognitive behavioral therapy-based interventions to address, unhealthy alcohol use, comorbid mental health symptoms, and HIV treatment outcomes among people living with HIV in Zambia. A 3-arm trial will be conducted with participants randomized to a brief intervention alone, the brief intervention plus referral to Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA), or standard of care (SOC).
This study is designed to examine the efficacy of a brief intervention plus a cognitive-behavioral intervention compared to brief intervention alone to address unhealthy alcohol use and comorbid mental health symptoms to improve HIV outcomes among people living with HIV in Alabama.
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused a pandemic infection called COVID-19. It is a global threat to people, communities, and health systems. Researchers are concerned about the mental health effects of the pandemic. They want to learn more about how it is affecting people s alcohol use and problems, and how it may continue to affect them over time. Objective: To study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol use and consequences in individuals across the spectrum of alcohol use and those with alcohol use disorder. Eligibility: Participants who have been screened under the NIAAA Screening, Assessment and Management Protocol (14-AA-0181) Design: Participants will complete a baseline survey by phone. It will ask about alcohol use, alcohol dependence, and stress. It covers 2 time periods: the 12 months before the pandemic started and the time since it started. Participants will get an ID code and a link to an online survey. They will complete the online survey within a week of the phone survey. Participants will complete a series of online surveys over 24 months. For the first year, surveys will be completed weekly for the first 4 weeks, then biweekly for the next 8 weeks, and then every 1-2 months for the rest of the year. For the second year, surveys will be completed every 6 months. Surveys will cover the following topics: - Alcohol use and its consequences - Other substance use - Stress - Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic - Pain - Physical health - Sleep - Quality of life. Because the course of the pandemic may change, the frequency of the surveys may change. Participation lasts 2 years.
The purposes of this study are 1) to determine the pharmacokinetics of alcohol after experimental administration of alcohol simulating a "binge-drinking" episode in young adults 2) to determine the profile of biomarkers of acute damage and exposure/consumption to alcohol 3) to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluate the acute effects alcohol and its relationship with biomarkers.
