简要总结
Directly reinforcing abstinence from alcohol with monetary incentives is an effective treatment for alcohol dependence, but barriers in obtaining frequent, verified biochemical measures of abstinence limit the dissemination of this treatment approach. The goal of this feasibility study is to determine if using technological advancements to remotely, accurately, and securely monitor alcohol use with a newly developed breathalyzer is an effective treatment that is acceptable to participants. If validated, this treatment approach has the potential to facilitate the dissemination of an effective, evidence-based treatment for alcohol dependence to a broader population whose treatment needs are not currently being adequately met.

研究组 & 干预措施
Contingent
The Contingent group will receive nearly immediate monetary payments over the internet each day they remotely provide negative breathalyzer samples, but will not receive the payments if they provide positive samples or fail to provide samples in a timely manner.
干预措施: Contingency management: Contingent incentives (Behavioral)
Noncontingent
The Noncontingent group will receive payments each day they successfully provide samples independent of the alcohol content of those samples.
干预措施: Contingency management: Noncontingent incentives (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Percent days abstinent from alcohol during intervention
时间窗: Percent days abstinent is the aggregate measure throughout the 21-day intervention period
Three breathalyzer assessments will be collected per day during the treatment period. This outcome measure will consist of the percent days when all three breathalyzers were on time and negative for alcohol.
Treatment acceptability
时间窗: Baseline, one day after treatment end, and at a one-month follow-up
Participant ratings of treatment acceptability will be collected during assessment sessions
