Filter by:Previous research, including that of this team, shows that a significant portion of those regularly using opioids-particularly filling opioids at community pharmacies-also are involved in the co-use of alcohol. This study proposes to adapt a previously developed intervention for opioid medication misuse; test its acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy; and identify barriers and facilitators to large-scale research and system-level implementation. Results of this study will directly inform a fully-powered subsequent multisite trial.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate the preliminary efficacy of an intervention to address alcohol use, sexual distress, and sexual assault risk among college women with a history of sexual victimization. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) what is the feasibility of the recruitment method, research design, interventionist training methods, and delivery of the intervention; 2) does the intervention, relatively to control, the 2- and 6-month follow-up produces reductions in the quantity/frequency of alcohol use and heavy drinking, sexual distress, and sex-related drinking motives, and sexual revictimization. Participants will engage in both individual and group based intervention for alcohol use, sexual distress, and sexual assault risk. Follow-up assessments are completed at 2- and 6-months following program completion. The intervention will be compared to a general health promotion control group.
The purpose of this research study is to test new technology-driven programs to see if they might help people manage their health and health behaviors related to alcohol use and well-being. The programs focus on getting to know what's important to participants, reviewing or setting goals, and using different skills and behaviors to manage health. The study will help researchers learn about ways to deliver health information in a way that is useful and interesting.
The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to map the prevalence of hazardous alcohol use in 270 adult patients with hypertension in Primary Health Care (PHC). The main question it aims to answer is: What is the prevalence of hazardous alcohol use in a population with hypertension in primary care detected with PEth and AUDIT, analysed in relation to patients with controlled, uncontrolled and treatment resistant hypertension? Participants will, in conjunction with annual control of hypertension with a General Practitioner (GP) at their Primary Health Care Centre (PHCC), visit a study nurse. The study nurse will collect following data: • Physical measurements• Lifestyle habits• Quality of life and demographic data • Drugs for hypertension and comorbidity • Laboratory tests including Phosphatidylethanol (PEth).
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.
Ecological momentary interventions (EMI), which use phones to deliver messages to reduce alcohol use and related risk behaviors during or prior to drinking events, can help to address triggers in real-time. GPS tracking can determine when individuals visit places they have previously reported drinking or triggers to drink and then EMI messages can be delivered upon arrival to prevent risky alcohol use. A mobile app has been developed that uses GPS tracking to determine when emerging adult sexual minority male and transgender (SMMTs) persons visit "risky" places and then delivers a survey asking what behaviors they engaged in while at the location. The goal of the proposed study is to use this app to enhance the Tracking and Reducing Alcohol Consumption (TRAC) intervention by delivering messages that encourage participants to employ strategies discussed during TRAC sessions when arriving at risky places. When they leave these places, they will complete a survey and breathalyzer reading in order to collect event-level self-report and biological data on alcohol use and HIV risk. If their breathalyzer result indicates alcohol use, they will receive harm reduction messaging. It is expected that combining TRAC with EMI ("TRAC-ER") will increase effectiveness by reinforcing topics discussed during these sessions, providing in-the-moment messaging to address triggers, and collecting real-time alcohol use data.
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.
