Filter by:This project will develop and pilot test a new smartphone-based system for AUD patients, their partners, and clinicians called PartnerCHESS. PartnerCHESS will integrate key features of ABCT and A-CHESS. PartnerCHESS will also include a Clinician Report to automatically alert clinicians of patients at risk of relapse and offer other information on how recovery is proceeding. The project has three specific aims: 1. Integrate A-CHESS with key features of ABCT to create PartnerCHESS to serve patients, partners, and clinicians. 2. Conduct a pilot test (a small randomized clinical trial) of PartnerCHESS to estimate effect size and refine the protocol, procedures, recruitment strategy, measurements, and operations for use in a large RCT. 3a. Decide whether to pursue an R01 application, and if so, 3b. plan for the R01.
The present proposed study has 3 primary objectives to address the knowledge gap regarding the exposure to alcohol advertisements in university students: (1) To estimate the frequency of exposure to alcohol advertisements and promotion of alcohol drinking culture (PADC) via television, print, radio, posters, banners, billboards, point-of-sale websites and social media in university students, (2) To examine the effect of exposure to alcohol advertising and PADC on alcohol use, binge drinking, pro-drinking attitudes and acceptance of alcohol advertisements, and (3) To examine the discrepancy in measuring the exposure to alcohol advertisements and PADC between the ecological momentary assessment and a traditional retrospective survey.The proposed study is a combination of (1) a time-based system-triggered EMA, which will collect real-time exposure to alcohol advertisements and (2) longitudinal surveys involving university students who are current alcohol users. Consented participants will be individually randomized to the EMA and non-EMA group. The EMA group will complete a baseline questionnaire, and complete 4 EMAs prompted randomly and 1 end-of-day survey with a smartphone app per day over a week. After 2 weeks of completing the EMA, they will be contacted to complete a telephone follow-up survey. The non-EMA group will only complete the baseline and the follow-up surveys.
The present study focuses on examining the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an adapted alcohol intervention for high-risk college students attending community colleges. Investigators adapted BASICS (an efficacious in-person intervention developed for high-risk drinkers attending 4-year colleges and universities) to a web-conferencing format that allows the facilitator and participant to see and discuss live web-based personalized feedback. SMS text messages with protective behavioral strategies were also provided. The objective of the R34 was to establish feasibility and acceptability as well as to determine preliminary or likely effect sizes.
The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of contingency management (CM) in reducing alcohol use in individuals experiencing unstable housing but who are currently housed in shelters. Participants will be 20-30 adults diagnosed with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and has a history or unstable housing or literal homelessness in the last year but is currently receiving housing through Catholic Charities Spokane or other locations. Individuals who demonstrate AUD and have measurable PEth >ng/mL at the baseline visit will be randomized to receive Phosphatidylethanol-based CM treatment or non-contigent treatment.
The project aims at investigating modifications of environmental factors (i.e. cues and stress) relevant for learning mechanisms in addictive disorders.
The study seeks to learn more about the health behaviors of young adults. Health behaviors include relationships, physical and mental health, alcohol use, and conflicts with others. The purpose of this study is to improve prevention and intervention programs for young adults.
This study evaluates the impact on risky drinking days and quality of life for patients with alcohol use disorder among patients who use a mobile health smart phone application. A third of the participants will receive access to the smart phone app without any monitoring; a third of the participants will receive access to the smart phone app monitored by and connected with a peer mentor; a third will receive access to the smart phone app monitored by and connected with a health coach who works within a healthcare system.
Many patients presenting in Emergency Department (ED) present alcohol acute intoxication. Some previous studies in general population found that young people under- or over-estimated of blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The hypothesis of the study is that self-estimation of BAC by the patient is under-estimated. Moreover, comparing self-estimation of BAC and objective measure of BAC, which is routinely performed in ED, could increase in patients the awareness of the disorders, increase motivation to change of the patient, and increase the rates of seeking-treatment six months after the first evaluation, in particular in patients with alcohol use disorders. To the investigators knowledge, there is no study investigating self-estimation, compared to objective measurement of blood alcohol concentration in patients with alcohol intoxication presenting to an Emergency Department (ED). The study will assess blood alcohol concentration and self-estimates of BAC, using the Subjective Effects of Alcohol Scale for Measuring Subjective Response to Alcohol in 100 patients with or without alcohol use disorders according to DSM-5 classification (using MINI scale and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)
The investigators have developed a mobile app called Resolving Psychological Stress (REPS) to help alleviate symptoms of PTSD. The app will administer threat-related attention bias modification to individuals who have both a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V (DSM-V) diagnosis of PTSD (and meet at least one DSM-V criteria for threat sensitivity) and a DSM-V diagnosis of Alcohol Use Disorder. The aims of the study are to explore both the feasibility and acceptability of the app with it's users, and to explore the efficacy of the app at alleviating PTSD severity.
The objective of this study is to analyze the physiological patterns of two groups of patients, one control and one with anxiety disorder and alcoholic abuse disorder using sensor data from mobile devices and wearables. This data will be compared to the data presented by three clinical questionnaires: State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II) in order to determine the feasibility of remote collected data.
