eHaRT-A for Alcohol Use Disorder in Housing First Clients

This study is testing a new digital health program called eHaRT-A. It's an online version of a successful in-person program (HaRT-A) that helps people reduce harm from alcohol use. This program is specifically for individuals who have experienced homelessness, have an alcohol use disorder (AUD), and are living in Housing First facilities. The study wants to see if eHaRT-A is better than standard Housing First services at reducing alcohol-related harm and improving your quality of life. You may be able to join if you are at least 21, speak English, are a client at a Housing First site, and have used alcohol recently with an AUD diagnosis. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

What this trial measures

  • Change in physical and mental-health related quality of life from baseline through 3-month follow-up as measured by the EQ-5D-5LBaseline through 3-month follow-up

    The EQ-5D-5L is a psychometrically sound, 5-item, 5-point Likert scale measure that comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Its summary score will reflect participants' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as a primary outcome.

  • Change in typical and peak alcohol quantity consumed from baseline through 3-month follow-up as assessed by the AQUA.Baseline through 3-month follow-up

    The Alcohol Quantity and Use Assessment (AQUA) was created by the research team for previous studies with a similar population and will be used to record the quantity of alcohol consumed on participants' heaviest and typical drinking days in the past two weeks. Scores are expressed in number of standard drinks with higher numbers indicating heavier drinking.

  • Change in alcohol-related harm from baseline through 3-month follow-up as assessed by the SIP-2R.Baseline to 3-month follow-up

    The Short Inventory of Problems (SIP-2R) is a 15-item, Likert-scale questionnaire that measures social, occupational and psychological alcohol-related problems. The summary score will serve as the alcohol-related problems outcome measure.

  • Feasibility of eHaRT-A within Housing FirstBaseline to 3-month follow-up.

    Feasibility will be assessed as ease of enrollment of participants into the study as well as ability to retain participants during the intervention portion of the study (i.e., percentage screened who expressed interest, qualified, and completed eHaRT-A).
