Study Summary

This trial will study whether an adapted version of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is an effective treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in gender minority (GM) individuals. GM individuals experience disproportionately high rates of hazardous drinking and AUD, and there are no evidence-based alcohol interventions for this population. The study will use mixed-methods formative research with an established multi-site longitudinal GM cohort to develop and assess the feasibility of the adapted IPT intervention.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for gender minority individuals who speak English, want treatment for moderate-to-severe alcohol use disorder (AUD), and can follow the study's procedures. It's not open to those legally mandated to treatment, with severe psychiatric symptoms or a history of intense alcohol withdrawal.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing a new version of interpersonal psychotherapy that's been adapted specifically for gender minority people with AUD. The goal is to see if this therapy better addresses their unique experiences related to alcohol consumption.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves psychotherapy rather than medication, traditional side effects like you might expect from drugs are not applicable. However, discussing sensitive topics during therapy could potentially cause emotional discomfort.
