Couple-Focused Smartphone Intervention to Reduce Problem Drinking: Pilot Randomized Control Trial

Couple-Focused Smartphone Intervention to Reduce Problem Drinking: Pilot Randomized Control Trial

In 2021, more than 28.6 million US adults aged 18 and older, nearly 1 in 9, met the criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD) [1-3], and in 2020, the first year of the pandemic, alcohol-related deaths increased 25.5% over the previous year [4]. While the pandemic greatly exacerbated the problem, AUD was already epidemic in its proportions. In 2019, some 14.1 million, or 5.5% of the adult population, met criteria for the disorder [5].

Web-Based Coping Skills Training and Coach Support for Women Living With a Partner With an Alcohol Use Disorder: Randomized Controlled Trial

Web-Based Coping Skills Training and Coach Support for Women Living With a Partner With an Alcohol Use Disorder: Randomized Controlled Trial

Individuals living with a partner with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) are at significantly greater risk of experiencing physical or emotional harm from the partner’s drinking. Women are more likely than men to report such harm [1], and estimates suggest that 5% of adult women in the United States are married to or living with a partner with an AUD [2].

Use of Transdermal Alcohol Sensors in Conjunction With Contingency Management to Reduce Alcohol Consumption in People With Alcohol Dependence Attending Alcohol Treatment Services: Protocol for a Pilot Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

However, although initially developed for use with alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment, it has had limited adoption in routine clinical practice [37,38]. This is due to the nature of alcohol metabolism and its low detectability within the body. After alcohol consumption, the body rapidly metabolizes it, with the majority being eliminated by the liver. The other 2%-5% is eliminated through breath, urine, and sweat [39]. This means that alcohol is only detectable in the body for a short period.

Testing a Digital Health App for Patients With Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease: Mixed Methods Usability Study

Testing a Digital Health App for Patients With Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease: Mixed Methods Usability Study

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased rates of alcohol use and has therefore been detrimental to patients with ALD in combination with AUD [4,5]. Siloing of patient care has meant that patients with ALD seen in general hepatology clinics would need to separately seek and coordinate care with addiction medicine to manage their AUD.

A Smartphone Physical Activity App for Patients in Alcohol Treatment: Single-Arm Feasibility Trial

A Smartphone Physical Activity App for Patients in Alcohol Treatment: Single-Arm Feasibility Trial

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a public health problem that has a significant negative impact on both individuals and society [1,2]. Data from the US National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions III indicate a lifetime prevalence rate of 29.1% for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, diagnoses of AUD [3]. Alcohol consumption is a leading cause of death in the United States and is associated with a significant economic burden [4,5].

The Impact of Mobile Apps on Alcohol Use Disorder: A Systematic Review Protocol

AUD is among the most prevalent mental disorders worldwide and contributes substantially to global morbidity and mortality [5,6]. The World Health Organization estimated that over three million deaths per year are linked to AUD—slightly more than lung cancer and HIV/AIDS mortalities combined [3]. Alcohol use has been associated with diverse physical and psychiatric comorbidities. It is affiliated with over 200 different diseases, conditions, and injuries [7].
