Examining the Relationship Between Ongoing Alcohol Use, Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors and Related Constructs, and Behavioral Economic Decision-Making
United States100 participantsStarted 2025-05-09
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this single groups trial is to (Aim 1) determine relationships between alcohol use, suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs), and behavioral economic decision-making in a community sample (N = 100) of alcohol using adults who are 18 years of age or older, (Aim 2) is to determine factors that predict engagement with a remote intervention (computer based training for cognitive behavioral therapy; CBT4CBT) for alcohol and its effects on alcohol use, STBs, and decision-making with those same adults.
Participants will complete a baseline assessment and be given access for remote, self-guided CBT4CBT modules for alcohol use. Following this, participants will remotely complete three follow-up assessments over three months. This will allow for determination of incidence and predictors of alcohol use and STBs and determination of predictors of engagement and efficacy of a remote intervention for alcohol use in both samples.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
