Official title
Optimizing Algorithmic Feedback About Lapse Risk for Trust, Engagement, and Clinical Outcomes for Alcohol Use Disorder
Overview
The goal of this study is to develop a machine-learning guided recovery messaging system. The main question it aims to answer is can messages be used to: * help people to improve their health * make changes in people's lives to address alcohol and substance use Participants will: * complete surveys * use a recovery-support digital therapeutic system
Detailed description
This study seeks to optimize messaging components which can be implemented in a recovery support messaging system such as may accompany a digital therapeutic app, in order to determine optimal messaging to increase interaction with recovery support resources, and whether messaging has any effect on clinical outcomes.
Interventions
- Device STAR
Automated recovery support messaging system for participants with alcohol use disorder (AUD), paired with a machine learning guided relapse risk prediction model.
Primary outcome measures
- Participant engagement with the STAR system [Time frame: data collected at 2 and 4 months]
Secondary outcome measures (10)
- Number of heavy drinking days in the previous 28 days [Time frame: data collected at baseline, 2, 4 months]
- Number of drinking days in the previous 28 days [Time frame: data collected at baseline, 2, 4 months]
- Flourishing Scale Score [Time frame: data collected at baseline, 2, 4 months]
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Score [Time frame: data collected at baseline, 2, 4 months]
- Multidimensional Inventory of Recovery Capital (MIRC) Score: Total Score [Time frame: data collected at baseline, 2, 4 months]
- Multidimensional Inventory of Recovery Capital (MIRC) Score: Each Domain [Time frame: data collected at baseline, 2, 4 months]
- Patient Health Questionnaire (PQH-9) Score [Time frame: data collected at baseline, 2, 4 months]
- Digital Working Alliance Inventory (D-WAI) [Time frame: data collected at 2 and 4 months]
- Message Usefulness [Time frame: data collected at 2 and 4 months]
- Trust of the System [Time frame: data collected at 2 and 4 months]
