Trial Outcomes & Findings for Alcohol Use and Mental Health - Pilot Test of Video-assisted Drinking Topography (NCT NCT03314454)

NCT ID: NCT03314454

Last Updated: 2024-12-27

Results Overview

To explore the potential of using alcohol topography as a noninvasive objective measure of alcohol drinking behavior and the possibility of using the identified behavioral pattern as an indicator for alcohol use disorder. We operationalized alcohol topography in several ways including the present measure: mean number of sips per alcoholic drink

Participant Flow

We did not get far enough along with recruitment for this pilot study to recruit social drinkers, nor individuals with elevated mental status thus all participants recruited were considered to have heavy drinker status with non-elevated depressed mood, thus precluding comparisons between these groups.

As explained in recruitment details, enrollment for this pilot study ended early before social drinkers or participants with elevated mental status could be recruited, thus precluding group comparisons.

Measure
Single Arm: Heavy Drinking Only With Elevated and Non-elevated Depressed Mood
We terminated this study early with only 10 of the projected 40 participants completing an alcohol administration laboratory session. We terminated the study before we could recruit social drinkers or participants with elevated mental status. For other classifications, subgroup sizes are too small for these results to have any meaning, thus we opted to present these results descriptively as a single group including only those with heavy drinking and both elevated and non-elevated depressed mood.
