Adapting CBT-I for Hazardous Alcohol Users

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this intervention development trial is to develop, refine, and test a telephone-delivered, 4-session version of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia adapted to hazardous alcohol users with co-occurring insomnia. The project will begin with a small, open label pilot to refine the intervention and proceed to a small, randomized trial comparing the intervention to a sleep and alcohol education control condition. The two main questions it aims to answer are whether the intervention is feasible to deliver and whether its effects on alcohol use and insomnia severity are large enough to warrant further work.

Clinical Trial Description

Drinking problems and sleep problems each cause significant loss at individual and societal levels. Insomnia in particular is highly prevalent in patients with alcohol use disorder, is prospectively associated with the development of alcohol use disorder and contributes to poorer recovery prognosis following alcohol treatments. Insomnia, therefore, represents a modifiable risk factor for negative outcomes associated with alcohol use along the full continuum of alcohol use problems. Accordingly, the project proposes to improve sleep with an insomnia intervention (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) tailored to adults who meet widely accepted definitions for hazardous alcohol use as well as diagnostic criteria for insomnia disorder. An iterative approach to development, refinement, and preliminary examination of the utility of a telephone-delivered, 4-session intervention will be used. A small (N = 10), open label pilot to develop and refine procedures for administering the intervention is followed by a small (N=60), randomized trial comparing the intervention to a sleep and alcohol education control condition. A number of intervention and study design feasibility domains will be assessed in preparation for designing a larger study. The investigators will also assess the effects of the intervention on alcohol use, sleep and mood by measuring these outcomes at baseline, post-treatment, and at 3- and 6-month follow up assessments. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
