简要总结
The study evaluates whether the introduction of e-alcohol therapy (alcohol therapy delivered via video conference) can break with some of the barriers related to alcohol treatment and thereby appeal to people with a problematic alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder Test score ≥ 8). The study aims to evaluate the effect of e-alcohol therapy on initiation, treatment compliance and alcohol intake as compared to treatment as usual .
详细描述
Background: Only a small proportion of those who have a problematic alcohol use receive treatment and compliance is low among the few that undergo treatment. If treatment more easily can be combined with everyday life and break with some of the barriers related to stigma by having a broader appeal, more people with a problematic alcohol use may seek and complete treatment. Alcohol therapy conducted via video conference may be an attractive treatment option and effective in reducing alcohol intake among people with a problematic alcohol use who do not seek traditional treatment.
Objective: The aim of this trial is to evaluate whether people with a problematic alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder Test score ≥ 8), who enroll in alcohol therapy delivered via video conference to a greater extent initiate as well as comply with treatment and reduce their alcohol intake compared to people allocated to standard alcohol treatment.
Design: Randomized controlled trial
Participants: 375 Danish citizens above 18 years with a problematic alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder Test (AUDIT) score >8).
