Filter by:Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is characterized by problematic alcohol use accompanied by clinically significant distress. This disorder is associated with high relapse rates, with one in five patients remaining abstinent 12 months post-treatment. Traditional face-to-face relapse prevention treatment (RPT) is a form of cognitive behavioural therapy that examines one's situational triggers, maladaptive thought processes, self-efficacy, and motivation, however access to this treatment is frequently limited due to its high cost, long waitlists, and inaccessibility. Thus, an online adaptation of RPT (e-RPT) could address these limitations by providing a more cost-effective and accessible delivery method for mental health care in this population. This study aims to establish the first academic e-RPT program to address AUD in the general population. We will recruit adult participants (n = 60) with a confirmed diagnosis of AUD. Then, these participants will be randomly assigned to receive ten sessions of e-RPT or face-to-face RPT. e-RPT will consist of 10 predesigned modules and homework with asynchronous personalized feedback from a therapist. Face-to-face RPT will consist of 10, one-hour long face-to-face sessions with a therapist. The predesigned modules and the face-to-face sessions will present the same content and structure. Self-efficacy, resilience, depressive symptomatology, and alcohol consumption will be measured through various questionnaires at baseline, week 5, and week 10. Outcome data will be assessed using linear and binomial regression (continuous and categorical outcomes respectively). Qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic analysis methods.
The emergence of new problematic alcohol consumption practices among young people requires new dynamics in prevention strategies. In this context, the ADUC project (Alcohol and Drugs at the University of Caen) aims to develop a better understanding of alcohol consumption, and in particular the practice of binge drinking (BD), in order to develop relevant and adapted prevention tools. The ALCOMEDIIT study (IRESP funding; Agreement 20II31-00 - ADUC part 3) is a randomized controlled trial that focuses on the specific determinant of impulsivity. The main objective of this experiment in social psychology is to validate a program for the prevention of BD practices based on motivational interviewing (MI) associated with intention implementation (II) and mindfulness meditation (MBM) in a student environment.
This pilot intervention will consist of a brief intervention for patients with HIV who take 5 or more medications and currently (within the past month) consume alcohol. The focus of this pilot will be on bothersome symptoms and the impact of alcohol use and medications on these symptoms. The rationale is that any alcohol use may interact with medications in serious ways leading to adverse outcomes, including bothersome symptoms.
This is a single blinded, randomized trial to evaluate the immediate subjective and objective effects of alcohol after a dose ketone supplement compared to a placebo in 10 health volunteers. Subjects will complete 2 lab visits where they consume a dose of alcohol (based on weight), to bring their breath alcohol concentration to about 0.050%. Participants will randomly receive ketone supplement at one lab and the placebo at the next lab.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the capsules that contain bacteria from healthy individuals when used to treat alcohol craving and drinking.
The Parent-Child Assistance Program (PCAP) helps mothers who have used alcohol, opioids, or other drugs during pregnancy and their children through the work of highly trained, closely supervised case managers. Case managers work closely with mothers over the course of three years, meeting the mothers in their own homes when possible, to help them to set goals and take advantage of available resources. The primary aims of PCAP include: (1) assisting mothers in obtaining substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and staying in recovery, (2) linking mothers to community resources that will help them build and maintain healthy, independent family lives for themselves and their children, and (3) preventing future drug and alcohol use during pregnancy. This study brings PCAP to Oklahoma (the state with the highest incarceration rate for women, where most enter the criminal justice system for drug charges) for the first time. This five-year project includes 200 women who will enroll in the study and be randomly assigned to the treatment (100 women) or control group (100 women). The intervention (i.e., PCAP services) will take place over a three-year period at two sites: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Tulsa, Oklahoma. This evaluation will measure participants' substance use, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment outcomes, and a host of other well-being outcomes-including but not limited to subsequent substance-exposed births, use of public assistance, education, use of family planning methods, and employment-to evaluate the effects of PCAP services. Among these, the investigators have identified four key outcomes: (1) the mother is on a reliable method of birth control, (2) abstinence for six months, (3) child custody (i.e., placement of children in foster care and/or with kinship providers), and (4) criminal justice involvement.
A prospective cohort study to evaluate the association between various triggers encountered in daily life and induction of atrial arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia and premature atrial contractions) with the use of long-term monitoring devices. The collected data of personalized triggers and risk factors will be used to define the individual phenotype of atrial arrhythmia.
The overarching goal of the proposed study is to provide information which can lead to effective implementation of cessation support in the care of smokers diagnosed with lung or head & neck cancer. To achieve these aims, the study propose to conduct a longitudinal cohort study of patients diagnosed with lung or head & neck cancer at the Hospices Civils de Lyon (SMALLHAN). Briefly, adult patients newly diagnosed with lung or head & neck cancer will be recruited at the time of diagnosis (announcement of diagnosis and consultation).
This study has two phases: Phase 1 is to examine blood pressure, microvascular function, and sympathetic nerve activity in mid-life adult binge drinkers vs. alcohol abstainers/moderate drinkers. Phase 2 is to examine the effect of 8-week aerobic exercise training on blood pressure, microvascular function, and sympathetic nerve activity in mid-life adult binge drinkers
Early alcohol socialization occurs within the family. This multi-level, high-reach, low-intensity intervention to prevent early alcohol use capitalizes on the influence of providers, immunization timing, and pediatric guidelines that advise healthcare providers to give anticipatory guidance about early alcohol use. In conjunction, the intervention capitalizes on the power of technology to reinforce and expand upon pediatrician messages. The study seeks to understand the feasibility and effectiveness of a pilot intervention designed to prevent alcohol socialization through education of parents of rising 6th grade students.
