NCT05491551
The goal of the proposed study is to examine whether brief training in regulation of craving (ROC-T) affects alcohol drinking. The study will consist of a basic screening (phone and online), and in person visit to determine eligibility and conduct pre-intervention baseline assessments, 1-4 training (ROC-T) visits, a post-intervention assessment visit, and 1-2 phone/online follow up assessments.The two active conditions of ROC-T are based on cognitive-behavioral treatments (CBT) and mindfulness-based treatments (MBT).
NCT02794311
The purpose of this study is to specify the psychological, cognitive, neuro-functional and genetic profile associated with binge drinker behaviors among young adults. Results will help identifying more precisely vulnerability factors associated with this pattern of alcohol consumption and guiding prevention efforts.
NCT07193030
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a behavioural intervention to change binge drinking habits in university students in Romania is feasible. The main research question is: Is a peer-led Alcohol Brief Intervention feasible to be implemented in a Romanian University to reduce binge drinking among students? Researchers will compare brief intervention (counselling) to no intervention. Student participants will: 1. Receive brief counselling for 15-20 minutes by their peers who were trained. 2. Report their alcohol consumption levels in three surveys conducted over three months.
NCT06298318
The goal of this double-blinded, randomized trial is to investigate the effects of acute binge drinking on liver function, liver fat content, and lipid metabolism in healthy young subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1\. If acute binge drinking could alleviate liver injury and hepatic steatosis.
NCT03652675
Among patients with HIV, especially those also infected with HCV, heavy drinking is associated with significant risks to health. However, little is known about how to best intervene with co-infected heavy drinkers, a particularly high risk group for whom targeted intervention has not been developed. Therefore, this study proposes to test a newly developed drinking-reduction intervention for patients with both HIV and HCV, which combines components of successful interventions developed for HIV and for liver disease patients. 60 HIV/HCV co-infected drinkers from HIV primary care will be recruited in order to ensure an adequate final sample size of 45 participants completing the study. A clinic recruiter will identify and refer potential participants based on their medical record, who will then be screened for eligibility by the research coordinator. Potential participants from outside of this clinic will also be recruited through self-referrals via flyers and through RecruitMe, an online based recruitment tool. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention or control condition, while ensuring that equal numbers of individuals with alcohol use disorder are assigned to each condition. The intervention condition will receive brief in-person sessions with a counselor and will be asked to use a smartphone app daily to keep track of drinking and other health behaviors for two months. The intervention sessions will include information about HIV, HCV and alcohol, and the counselor will give the participant information about their liver function and alcohol use to try to motivate them to drink less. The control condition will simply be asked to drink less and will be given pamphlets with general information on HIV, Hepatitis C, and drinking from educational websites on HIV/HCV co-infection. The intervention condition will then be evaluated to see if it was more effective at reducing drinking than the control condition.
NCT03931018
The purposes of this study are 1) to determine the pharmacokinetics of alcohol after experimental administration of alcohol simulating a "binge-drinking" episode in young adults 2) to determine the profile of biomarkers of acute damage and exposure/consumption to alcohol 3) to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluate the acute effects alcohol and its relationship with biomarkers.
NCT02045108
The overarching goal of this study is to determine whether combined cognitive training and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) reduces drinking in high-risk drinkers. To this end, specific study purposes are: 1) replicate previous findings that cognitive retraining reduces drinking levels, 2) test whether cognitive retraining can be enhanced with tDCS, and 3) investigate the neural changes that result from cognitive retraining and tDCS. We hypothesize that those participants who receive alcohol avoidance cognitive training will have greater reductions in drinking. In turn, those participants who receive a higher level of applied tDCS during alcohol avoidance response training will have better avoidance learning, as well as, a larger reduction in drinking behavior. Finally, those participants receiving a higher level of applied tDCS will have more neuronal response associated with alcohol avoidance during the brain imaging session.
NCT03062189
The purpose of this study was to assess drinking habits and patterns of alcohol consumption, smoking habits, use of illicit drugs and the prevalence of binge drinking and alcohol use disorders among Italian young students. Furthermore to investigate the correlation between binge drinking and alcohol use disorders.
NCT02064998
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of three mobile phone applications, Promillekoll, PartyPlanner and TeleCoach among university student union members with problematic drinking. Two trials are conducted, one a three-armed randomized controlled study, and the second a two-armed randomized control study. Outcomes are measured in terms of changes in problematic alcohol use at follow up 6,12 and 18 weeks after baseline data gathering. Both the Promillekoll and PartyPlanner apps feature real time registration of alcohol consumption and give feedback of estimated blood alcohol concentration levels. PartyPlanner also allows for planning an alcohol consumption event in advance and for later comparison of the plan with actual consumption. Study 1 compares these two apps with a control group. In Study 2, participants reporting alcohol consumption above the weekly recommended level are redirected to randomized assignment to an in-depth app, TeleCoach, which offers different exercises for reducing alcohol use. After 6 weeks the controls are offered the TeleCoach intervention for 6 weeks, and the first intervention group loses app access. In both studies, followup occurs 6, 12 and 18 weeks after baseline registration. Hypotheses: Study 1: 1. The groups receiving the Promillekoll and PartyPlanner interventions will reduce their alcohol use to a larger extent than the control group at follow-up compared to the baseline level. 2. The planning function in PartyPlanner will be associated with an increased decrease in alcohol consumption compared to only real-time use for Promillekoll. Study 2: The proportion of participants with risky use above recommended levels will decline faster in the group that receives the intervention first, in comparison to controls.
