Filter by:This pilot project is a brief, open-label clinical trial of probiotics as an intervention in heavy drinkers. Heavy drinkers who do not yet show significant signs of liver disease may stand to benefit from probiotics, but no clinical trials to date have addressed this population. This study will recruit heavy drinkers to complete an open-label within-subjects trial. The study will investigate effects of probiotics on specific biomarkers in healthy heavy drinkers who currently are not seeking to change their alcohol use (i.e., are non-treatment-seeking).
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.
