About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This research project proposes a novel approach to elucidate the biological adaptations associated with Alcohol Use Disorder and to assess whether such adaptations are predictive of higher alcohol craving in response to both alcohol cues and stressors and higher relapse risk and alcohol use in the real world.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder
Participants who meet the criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder will complete six weeks of smartphone monitoring. During this monitoring period, they will also complete two three-consecutive days of intensive monitoring including more frequent smartphone surveys, saliva samples, heart rate monitoring, and an alcohol use monitor.
Treatment: Intensive Day Monitoring
- Social drinkers
Participants who have a past year history of alcohol use and do not meet the criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder will complete two weeks of smartphone monitoring. During this monitoring period, they will also complete three consecutive days of intensive monitoring including more frequent smartphone surveys, saliva samples, heart rate monitoring, and an alcohol use monitor.
Treatment: Intensive Day Monitoring
