Active clinical trials for "Alcohol Drinking"

Using an electronic health record to link the resources of primary care practices and community programs will help patients to improve their diet and exercise, quit smoking, and moderate their drinking.

This study is designed to test whether treatment with kudzu extract will increase the rate at which alcohol enters the brain as measured by rapid proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS).

This research is designed to assess if problem drinking by treatment seeking individuals can be treated (reduced) by kudzu extract pharmacotherapy plus medical management therapy.

This study identifies whether and how online support groups may work to confer therapeutic benefits onto its participants.

This is a Phase 2, single-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept (POC) study involving 6 weeks of MAP4343 in conjunction with 6 weeks of manual-guided counseling, with 2 follow-up visits at 1 week and 1 month post-treatment.

High schools High on life' intervention is a high school-based, multi-component intervention guided by theory, evidence, and empirical findings to reduce excessive drinking among Danish high school students. The study will employ a cluster-randomized controlled study design: investigators plan to include a random sample of at least 12 high schools randomly 1:1 allocated to either intervention or control group. Timeline: Baseline data will be obtained from the Danish National Youth Study 2019, collected in January to March 2019. Delivery of intervention: August 2019 to January 2020. Follow-up survey: April to May 2020. Primary outcome measure: mean number of binge-drinking episodes within the last 30 days. Secondary outcome measures: weekly alcohol consumption, alcohol intake at last school party, alcohol intake at the school during last school party, number of students that agrees that they are able to have fun at a party without drinking, and the proportion of students that think alcohol plays a too dominant part at the school. Implementation will be monitored thorough process evaluation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a manualized in-hospital recovery coach intervention on rates of post-discharge treatment retention and alcohol use among hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorder.

The aim is to determine the metabolic factors, host immune factors, and medical imaging data associated with the development of HepatoCellular Carcinoma (HCC) in patients with alcohol-related liver disease or dysmetabolic steatosis/Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis. The investigators will include patients with and without cirrhosis in order to identify early molecular mechanisms involved in the development of HCC especially in non-cirrhotic patients.

A convenience sample of 40 solitary drinkers aged between 10 and 24 will be invited to complete a structured questionnaire and a individual semi-structured interviews.

This project aims to help Veterans who are in medical treatment and have untreated alcohol problems. First, the investigators adapted a Decision Aid that explains alcohol-related treatment options and their risks and benefits. Then, the investigators are determining the effectiveness of an intervention called DO-MoST (for Drinking Options-Motivate, Shared Decisions, Telemonitor), whereby a Decision Coach helps Veterans make decisions about alcohol-related behaviors and treatments they prefer, and keeps in contact by phone to continue to help with drinking and treatment decisions. DO-MoST is designed to increase rates at which Veterans decide to reduce or quit drinking, and begin and remain in treatment, and to improve drinking- and medical-related outcomes over time. It may also decrease Veterans' use of expensive health services such as hospitalizations and emergency visits. Finally, the investigators will study how VA can use DO-MoST on an ongoing, more widespread basis. The project should increase patient-centered health care for Veterans with alcohol problems to benefit their recovery.
