Pilot Study: Environment and Alcohol Use Disorder

This study is looking at how different environments and activities, called Environmental Enrichment (EE), might help people with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). AUD is a chronic disease where people have trouble controlling their drinking. Researchers want to see if EE can reduce alcohol consumption and improve mental health. You might be able to join if you are at least 21 years old, have an AUD diagnosis, and own a smartphone to answer study questions. The main goal is to see how EE affects how much alcohol people drink, measured over 1 to 3 months for each participant. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 44 participants.
