Brief Digitally-Enhanced Intervention for Reducing Alcohol Use During MOUD (NCT06718491)
Brief Digitally-Enhanced Intervention for Managing Emotional Pain and Reducing Alcohol Use During Medication for OUD
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to reduce heavy drinking and enhance medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) outcomes in individuals receiving MOUD. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the brief, digitally-enhanced, virtual psychotherapeutic intervention, called Managing Physical Reactions to Overwhelming Emotions (IMPROVE), impact daily alcohol use and MOUD adherence? * Does the intervention change self-report and physiological responses to intolerance to uncertainty and anxiety sensitivity? Researchers will compare IMPROVE to a control intervention (health education treatment) to see if IMPROVE impacts daily alcohol use and MOUD adherence. Participants will: * Complete a baseline electroencephalography (EEG) and self-report questionnaires. * Complete three one-hour intervention sessions (IMPROVE or control) each one week a part. * Complete a post-intervention EEG and self-report questionnaires. * Complete five ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys a day for 21 days. * Complete self-report questionnaires one-month after their last intervention session.
