Study Summary

This trial is testing new programs to see if they might help people manage their health and health behaviors related to alcohol use and well-being.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with alcohol use disorder who drink on average three or more days per week, have access to a device with video capabilities or a phone, and can understand English. It's not suitable for those who've had recent AUD therapy, are at risk of complicated withdrawal, or have injected drugs in the past year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two programs: TeleTx intervention delivered via telehealth platforms like Zoom and Enhanced Usual Care (EUC). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these groups and followed up for up to 12 months to see which program better helps manage health behaviors related to alcohol use.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort discussing personal issues during sessions.
