About This Alcohol Use Disorder Study in Chicago

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility \& acceptability of an integrated CM-PST intervention (in K99 phase) and preliminary efficacy (in R00 phase), vs. CM alone, to improve treatment efficacy and inform about neural mechanisms of treatment effects in young adults with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The aims are as follows: K99 Aim: Test feasibility \& acceptability of a developed CM-PST, by meeting these benchmarks: 2a Feasibility: enroll 20 participants in the new CM-PST in a single-arm pre- and post-study, and retain ≥85% at wk 12. 2b Deliver CM-PST at ≥90% fidelity to intervention protocol. 2c Acceptability to participants: Achieve mean score ≥3 on Client Satisfaction Scale Questionnaire and satisfaction from semi-structured interviews. R00 Aim 1) Test preliminary efficacy of CM-PST in a 2-arm pilot RCT: Male/female young adults (aged18-24) who meet AUD criteria will be randomized to CM-PST or CM-only control, and assessed at baseline (0), 3, and 6 months. Primary study endpoint will be 3 months. R00 Aim 2 (Exploratory) Explore potential neural mechanisms of CM-PST effects, by fMRI scanning \& analyses of core regions of the brain circuits regulating positive affect (ventral striatum), negative affect (amygdala), and cognitive control (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), and connectivity between these core regions.
