Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects on alcohol consumption, and the consumption of time spent by a qualified clinician, by adding different forms of guidance to a digital intervention based on an alcohol diary and techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and relapse prevention. The participants will be adults with problematic alcohol use. The trial will be a 2*2 factorial experiment where written guidance and/or an extra mid-treatment telephone interview will be added to the basic digital intervention, by randomization. The randomized factorial experiment will create four equally large groups (1:1:1:1) who will receive different combinations of added guidance. Main outcome will be effects on alcohol consumption. Effects on alcohol consumption will also be combined with clinician time spent on guidance to assess the resource-effectiveness of added forms of guidance.
Socially disadvantaged Black men are at increased risk for unhealthy drinking habits that may, in turn, increase preventable chronic disease. This project seeks to test the effectiveness of a Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) intervention for use within barbershop settings to reduce average drinking days and the number of unhealthy drinking days. Data from this study will further our understanding of how to reduce the risk of alcohol-related morbidity and mortality among Black men. Data will also improve our understanding of strategies that can improve the implementation of evidence-based care models in non-clinical settings; thus, extending the reach of evidence-based care to communities with the highest need.
