Trial Outcomes & Findings for Michigan Alcohol Improvement Network- Alcohol Reduction and Treatment Trial (NCT NCT04473482)

NCT ID: NCT04473482

Last Updated: 2023-08-30

Results Overview

Feasibility of administration of the MAIN-ART tool will be determined by recruitment rates and retention rates (as measured at 6 months after recruitment). Study recruitment started on 23 September, 2020 and concluded on 10 January 2022. The results reflect the number and percent of those patients who were approached, were determined to be eligible, and were consented.

Measure
MAIN-ART Behavior Tool
The Michigan Alcohol Improvement Network- Alcohol Reduction and Treatment Tool (MAIN-ART) behavioral intervention is an online web application with two modules: misconception correction and tailored, preference-sensitive alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment matching. Michigan Alcohol Improvement Network-Alcohol Reduction and Treatment tool: The intervention corrects misconceptions about alcohol use, liver disease, and alcohol treatment and matches patients to their top three choices of treatment while providing them with brief explanations of each treatment option.
Routine Care
Patients randomized to usual care will receive a pamphlet for alcohol treatment referral to the University of Michigan Addiction Treatment Services, but will receive no further education from the research team.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 months

Population: This population is prior to consent and includes the patients who were ultimately excluded due to not meeting study criteria, cancellation, not showing up to appointments, being unreachable via phone, or for declining participation in the study.

Feasibility of administration of the MAIN-ART tool will be determined by recruitment rates and retention rates (as measured at 6 months after recruitment). Study recruitment started on 23 September, 2020 and concluded on 10 January 2022. The results reflect the number and percent of those patients who were approached, were determined to be eligible, and were consented.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 months

Feasibility of administration of the MAIN-ART tool will be determined by recruitment rates and retention rates (as measured at 6 months after recruitment). Retention rate is shown by the number of participants who continued in the study for 6 months, and the percentage that it represents compared to those who began it but did not follow through to the end of the study (6 months).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 1 hour

Population: Only subjects randomized to the intervention MAIN-ART behavioral tool were assessed in the intervention group. Because this intervention was given at the initial visit, all participants who were randomized to the MAIN-ART tool arm are available for analysis.

On the day the participants engage with the MAIN-ART tool, acceptability will be determined by patient-level surveys. The System usability Survey (SUS) consists of 10 questions ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). A scoring algorithm which produces a range from 0 to 100 was used. Current literature suggests that a score above 68 for mean SUS is considered "above average." By "intervention," this measure means interaction with the MAIN-ART tool, which occurs only at the participant's initial visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: Baseline measure data includes all participants whose data was collected at baseline. The participants at 6 months includes only those who completed the study.

Alcohol use will be defined according to World Health Organization (WHO) risk drinking level. WHO drinking risk levels were derived from patient reports of the number of standard drinks (defined as 0.6 ounces of absolute alcohol) consumed, which were converted to grams of pure alcohol (0.6 ounces = 14 grams). Ranging from abstinence (0 grams) to very high risk (101+ males / 61+ females grams).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 months

Population: All participants involved in the initial use of the MAIN-ART tool or who received routine care are analyzed to evaluate what percent engaged with alcohol treatment by the end of the study.

Alcohol treatment engagement will be defined as at least one visit with formal, external assistance in alcohol cessation or reduction including inpatient rehabilitation services, out patient alcohol cessation programs, engagement in therapy of any kind tailored for alcohol cessation, and engagement in any group therapy or support groups for alcohol cessation including alcoholics anonymous, 12 step facilitation and etc.
