Trial Outcomes & Findings for Testing Brief Personalized Feedback Integrating Lab-based Alcohol Cue Information (NCT NCT05873556)

NCT ID: NCT05873556

Last Updated: 2025-03-25

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 (e.g., via Instagram). 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 (i.e., posting ads on social media) went from April 2023 to December 2023. Participant enrollment (i.e., completion of lab session) went from May 2023 to December 2023.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Assessment-only Control
Participants randomized to the control group will not receive any intervention. They complete all the survey assessments and the lab-based cue reactivity protocol without ever receiving any personalized feedback.
Lab-based Cue Reactivity Personalized Feedback Intervention (PFI)
Participants randomized to the Lab-based Cue Reactivity PFI condition will receive a link to the personalized feedback in the lab after completing the cue reactivity protocol. Participants view the feedback on their own during the lab session. The personalized feedback is delivered online and contains information summarizing participants' desire to drink, mood, willingness to drink, and alcohol demand as reported before and after alcohol exposure. Lab-based Cue Reactivity Personalized Feedback Intervention (PFI): This is an online personalized feedback intervention that contains information summarizing participants' desire to drink, mood, willingness to drink, and alcohol demand as reported before and after alcohol exposure.

PRIMARY outcome

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

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

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. Higher values represent a worse outcome (i.e., more consequences).
