Long-Term Relapse Study: Pilot Study
This project is not recruiting.
Overview
What we are studying
We are studying Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and trying to understand more about longer-term risks that govern return to alcohol use after initial remission has been achieved. Individuals may be eligible if they have resolved a problem with alcohol in the last 1-5 years.
Why it is important
Despite the risk for long-term relapse even after full remission has been achieved, very little is known about the factors which contribute to this longer-term relapse risk.
What we hope to accomplish
The goal of this pilot study is to determine feasibility and acceptability of conducting this type of study, specifically regarding recruitment and assessment. These data will support the application for future studies. This study has the potential to contribute valuable information regarding the recovery pathways of adults in their early years of AUD remission.

Who can participate
Individuals who have resolved a problem with alcohol in the last 1-5 years.
What you may be asked to do
Individuals who participate will be asked to complete a one-time series of questionnaires along with a diagnostic interview with a member of the study staff. Completion of the cross-sectional survey, whether accomplished during an in-person visit or online/by phone, is followed by participant's completion of a 7-day burst of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) using the smartphone mobile application called MetricWire. Those who do not have an Android or Apple smartphone, and as such are unable to download the MetricWire application, will complete their participation in the study following the one-time, cross-sectional assessment.
Project activities may include:
- Survey
- Personal health tracking
- Office visit
Estimated Time Commitment
3 hours over 1 week
What You May Get
Subjects will receive up to a total of $158 for participation in the study ($100 for survey completion, $38 for smartphone app mini-survey participation, and $20 for travel reimbursement).
