About this study

Official title: Optimizing E-interventions for Alcohol Use: Do Common Factors Apply?

The project seeks to develop an effective computer-delivered brief intervention to reduce alcohol use using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST). Sixteen different versions of the intervention will be tested with manipulation of common factors (empathy \& positive regard), use of a voice, and use of an animated narrator. Participants will include 352 undergraduate students randomly assigned to one intervention condition; follow-up assessments will take place at one and 3 months. The main outcome will be means drink per day over the past 30 day.

Read the detailed description

The proposed project seeks to develop a maximally effective computer-delivered brief intervention (CDBI) for reducing heavy alcohol use. To accomplish this, we will use the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), an efficient method for optimizing intervention content, beginning with factorial designs evaluating main and interaction effects of specific intervention components. Our selection of components will be guided by: (a) Common Factors Theory, which highlights the tremendous contribution of non-specific factors, such as empathy and positive regard, to therapy outcomes, but which is of unknown relevance to CDBIs; and (b) Media Equation Theory, which suggests that people automatically respond to computers in social ways, particularly when those computers replicate human characteristics. To accomplish these goals, we will examine outcomes of computer-delivered brief interventions in which common factors (empathy \& positive regard), use of a voice, and use of an animated narrator are systematically manipulated using a factorial design. We will also systematically manipulate the presence vs. absence of motivational content in order to examine possible interactions between common factors and specific motivational techniques. Participants will be 352 undergraduates who are randomly assigned to 1 of 16 intervention conditions. Mean drinks per day over the past 30 days will be measured at 1 and 3-month follow-ups. Secondary analyses will also examine past month heavy drinking days, alcohol-related consequences, and intention to reduce alcohol use. We hypothesize that there will be significant main effects for (1) the factor consistent with Common Factors Theory (empathy and positive regard), (2) the two factors consistent with Media Equation Theory (voice and narrator), and (3) the presence of motivational content. We further hypothesize that mean drinks/day will be lower when (1) the common factors (empathy, positive regard) are combined with a voice and/or narrator or (2) motivational content is combined with common factors and/or a voice/narrator.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Mean Drinks Per Day
Average of reports from past 30 days on the number of standard drinks consumed by participant over the past 30 days.
Measured: 1 month and 3 months after baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)

Number of Heavy Drinking Days Per Month
Number of days participant reports drinking 4/5 (male/female) alcoholic drinks in a 2-hour period during the past 30 days
Measured: 1 month and 3 months after baseline
Report of Alcohol Related Consequences
Participant self-report on the Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire
Measured: 1 month and 3 months after baseline
Intention to Reduce Alcohol Use
Participants self-report intentions to reduce drinking on the Drinking Intentions Questionnaire. On this questionnaire, participants rate how likely they are to reduce their drinking over the next week, month, and year on a scale ranging from '0 = Not at all likely' to '5 = Extremely likely.' Higher scores mean greater intentions to reduce drinking. In order to obtain more stable estimates and reduce type I error, responses to the week, month and year questions were summed to create a total drinking intentions score which could range from 0 to 15. More specifically, scores on each individual scale item (i.e. intentions to reduce drinking over the week, month and year) could range from 0 to 5. When summed together, these items created the total score (reported here) which could range from 0 to 15.
Measured: 1 month and 3 months after baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Brief Tablet-based Intervention to Address Heavy Alcohol Use in people with Alcohol Drinking in College, run by Wayne State University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jun 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Drinks Per Day (time frame: 1 month and 3 months after baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02952872, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jun 2019.
