Trial Outcomes & Findings for Testing Brief Personalized Feedback Integrating EMA Alcohol Cue Information (NCT NCT05373706)

NCT ID: NCT05373706

Last Updated: 2024-06-04

Results Overview

Number of standard drinks consumed on each day of a typical week during the \[past 3 months for baseline and 3-month follow-up; past two weeks for 2-week follow-up\]. Participants responded on a scale from 0 (0 drinks) to 25 (25 or more drinks). Totals for each day are summed to calculate the typical number of drinks consumed per week.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from Washington state using a variety of recruitment methods (e.g., predominantly Instagram, random selection of students from university registrar's lists). Individuals were invited to complete an online eligibility survey for participation in a randomized clinical trial to test the effect of an online personalized feedback intervention. Recruitment/enrollment period went from April 2022 to January 2023.

Measure
Assessment-only Control
Participants randomized to the control group will not receive any intervention. They will be an assessment-only control group.
Cue Reactivity Personalized Feedback Intervention (PFI)
Participants randomized to the Cue Reactivity PFI condition will receive personalized feedback at the end of completing 17 days of ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) four times a day. The personalized feedback will be delivered online and contains information summarizing participants' desire to drink as it varied as a function of several real-world factors across the 17-day EMA period. Alcohol Cue Reactivity Personalized Feedback Intervention: This online brief intervention provides personalized feedback using EMA data focused on alcohol cue reactivity to reduce alcohol misuse among young adults.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 2 week follow-up, and 3 month follow-up

Population: Young adults

Self-reported subjective alcohol craving during the past week. Response options were scored from "0" to "6" with text varying across items. A sum score of the five items was calculated and the possible range was from 0-30. Higher scores reflect more craving.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 2 week follow-up, and 3 month follow-up

Population: Young adults

Participants responded "no" (0) or "yes" (1) to whether they experienced each of 24 consequences during the \[past 3 months for baseline and 3-month follow-up; past two weeks for 2-week follow-up\]. A sum of the number of negative alcohol-related consequences was calculated and the possible range was 0-24.
