Filter by:Alcohol and cannabis are the most misused psychoactive substances in the United States, and their misuse among African American young adults has the potential to be especially problematic. The proposed research examines how daily and racial stressors (e.g., racism and discrimination) may lead to alcohol and cannabis use among African American young adults, and what individual and community coping and resources mitigate this causal effect. This research is designed to identify possible targets for culturally responsive prevention and treatment efforts to help prevent and reduce alcohol and cannabis use among African American young adults.
This is the first stage of a three-stage, NIH-funded study to develop and test initially a multi-modal intervention concerning blood/breath alcohol concentration for young adults. The multimodal intervention will be made up of brief telehealth counseling and psychoeducation and use of three mobile technologies to facilitate moderate drinking. In the first stage of the study, we will conduct formative research to obtain input from the study population, test initially the telehealth version of the brief counseling and psychoeducation and to develop a simple, "low tech" approach to coaching participants to use the three mobile technologies in typical drinking situations. Participation will last approximately one month.
This proposed study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, laboratory study to determine the effects of DMT, plus psychotherapy, on Alcohol Use Disorder.
A controlled pre-post design study on Take it Personal! has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the frequency and severity of youth use of alcohol, cannabis or other illicit drugs. Take it Personal! is an existing indicated prevention programme for substance use in youth with a mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning that addresses each participant's high-risk personality traits for substance abuse. The current Take it Personal! programme is further developed and optimized in collaboration with relevant stakeholders. In particular, the investigators aim to integrate personalized daily diary monitoring in the programme so that trainers can monitor client progresses closely and gain insights into change mechanisms, providing starting points for therapeutic efforts in programme sessions. The investigators conduct a series of case studies with a non-concurrent multiple baseline design to evaluate the effectiveness of Take it Personal!. The baseline lengths are randomly determined, and therefore the start of the intervention is staggered across participants.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of mobile app containing a range of evidence based tools to improve the mental health and substance use outcomes of university students.
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.
The research study seeks to refine and test a brief, self-directed, intervention for individuals from the general public with PTSD and co-occurring HD that can be delivered via text-messaging. This application seeks to refine the intervention further by testing whether theoretically-driven, evidence-based strategies from basic cognitive psychology (message framing) and social psychology (facilitating growth mindsets) result in better outcomes for PTSD symptoms and HD by addressing pilot participant feedback related to avoidance and motivation.
The investigators will conduct a waitlist control trial to test the efficacy of the Journey of Transformation-Native Youth Health Leadership Program (JOT) in terms of delaying or reducing tobacco and other substance use and improving sexual health.
This study aims to test the efficacy of experiential-based training to increase DUI offenders' perceptions or risk associated with alcohol use.
In this project, the investigators will implement innovations to extend use of Contingency Management (CM) to facilitate alcohol use reduction among people living with HIV (PLWH). The investigators' approach to extending CM will use mobile health (mHealth) tools including a smartphone breathalyzer device with accompanying app and a wrist worn alcohol biosensor. Participants will be engaged in mobile facilitated CM for 30-60 days with follow-up out to 6 months.
