Filter by:The EXTEND study is a randomized controlled trial to compare the uptake and acceptability, efficacy, and cost of methods of delivery of an alcohol intervention in reducing unhealthy alcohol use and increasing viral suppression among HIV positive persons in Uganda. The study arms are (a) in-person counseling during 2 quarterly clinic visits plus live booster phone calls every three weeks in the interim (b) in-person counseling during 2 quarterly clinic visits plus tech (choice of SMS or IVR) boosters once to twice weekly in the interim; and (c) standard of care (SOC) control (brief unstructured advice, with a wait-listed intervention).
Alcohol consumption is prevalent and frequently excessive and its use poses a major risk to both personal and public health. In the U.S., every month over 25% of adults and 40% of college students drink until their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeds the legal limit of 0.08% and there is a great unmet need for interventions to help individuals better manage their BACs. Zeno Functional Foods has developed a protein bar, SOBAR, with the aim to control alcohol absorption when eaten prior to drinking. It is hypothesized that the SOBAR will slow stomach emptying resulting in a comparatively diminished peak BAC as well as a more stable BAC-time profile that is both safer and more pleasurable for the drinker.
The purpose of this study is to develop a treatment that can effectively help people reduce their alcohol use and quit smoking.
Successful treatment of alcohol associated liver disease (AALD) depends primarily on abstinence from alcohol. The investigators propose a randomized clinical trial of alcohol biosensor monitoring for patients with alcohol associated liver disease to determine if monitoring with feedback on alcohol use patterns reduces alcohol consumption and improves outcomes.
This is a randomized controlled trial to examine the impact of two brief interventions on adolescent and young adult alcohol use behaviors and related brain response. The interventions being compared are motivational interviewing (MI) and brief adolescent mindfulness (BAM).
The purpose of the current study is to investigate in a prospective randomized cross-over trial, the impact of alcohol versus a placebo drink on smoking behavior and topography (duration and frequency of puffing), abuse liability, and toxicity. It is hypothesized that drinking alcohol before smoking will be associated with longer puffs and shorter duration between puffs and greater abuse liability and toxicity.
