简要总结
Background:
The SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused a pandemic infection called COVID-19. It is a global threat to people, communities, and health systems. Researchers are concerned about the mental health effects of the pandemic. They want to learn more about how it is affecting people s alcohol use and problems, and how it may continue to affect them over time.
Objective:
To study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol use and consequences in individuals across the spectrum of alcohol use and those with alcohol use disorder.
Eligibility:
Participants who have been screened under the NIAAA Screening, Assessment and Management Protocol (14-AA-0181)
Design:
Participants will complete a baseline survey by phone. It will ask about alcohol use, alcohol dependence, and stress. It covers 2 time periods: the 12 months before the pandemic started and the time since it started.
Participants will get an ID code and a link to an online survey. They will complete the online survey within a week of the phone survey.
Participants will complete a series of online surveys over 24 months. For the first year, surveys will be completed weekly for the first 4 weeks, then biweekly for the next 8 weeks, and then every 1-2 months for the rest of the year. For the second year, surveys will be completed every 6 months. Surveys will cover the following topics:
- Alcohol use and its consequences
- Other substance use
- Stress
- Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
- Pain
- Physical health
- Sleep
- Quality of life.
Because the course of the pandemic may change, the frequency of the surveys may change.
Participation lasts 2 years.
详细描述
Study Description:
The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak started in 2019 and has resulted in a world-wide pandemic infection designated COVID-19. This pandemic has become an unprecedented global threat to individuals, communities and health systems. While immediate attention has appropriately focused on prevention and treatment of SARS CoV-2 infection, the widespread societal mental health consequences of the pandemic cannot be ignored. Given the catastrophic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to prospectively and longitudinally assess the impact on alcohol use and problems, along with associated behaviors and outcomes. Thus, the goal of this study is to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol use and consequences in individuals across the spectrum of alcohol use and alcohol use disorder.
Objectives:
The specific aims of this study are:
- To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol consumption and consequences in individuals across the spectrum of alcohol use and those with AUD.
- To evaluate the time-course of changes in measures of negative life events, social isolation and stress, and their effect on alcohol consumption and consequences over a 2-3 year period during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.
- (Exploratory aim) To examine the role of anxiety, depression, craving, binge drinking, impaired control in the relationships examined above.

结局指标
主要结局
AUDIT Score
时间窗: 24 months
Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT): This is a 10-item questionnaire designed to screen for AUD. The first 3 questions constitute the AUDIT-C and provides a measure of alcohol consumption. The total score provides a continuous quantification of AUD severity.
ADS Score
时间窗: 24 months
Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS): This 25-item scale will be used to measure severity of alcohol dependence. This scale covers alcohol withdrawal symptoms, impaired control over drinking, awareness of a compulsion to drink, increased tolerance to alcohol, and salience of drink-seeking behavior.
次要结局
- Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Score(24 months)
- Life Events Questionnaire (LEQ) Score(24 monhts)
- UCLA Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS) Score(24 months)
