Music Listening for Stress Reduction in Early Alcohol Recovery
This study is looking at how listening to music can help young adults reduce stress during the first year of recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD). Researchers want to create a special music-listening program that people can use on their smartphones to help manage their emotions and stress in everyday life. They will study 30 young adults to find out what kinds of music are most helpful for reducing stress. To join, you need to be between 18 and 35 years old, in early recovery from alcohol use (within 12 months), and own a smartphone. The study will measure things like your electrodermal activity (how much your skin conducts electricity, which can show stress), heart rate variability (how much your heart rate changes between beats), and your music listening habits over 14 days. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study planning to enroll 30 participants. It is designed to understand how music listening affects stress.
- What's involved
- You would complete an online pre-screening, followed by an in-person screening and informed consent. The study will then measure your electrodermal activity, heart rate variability, and music listening history over 14 days.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your electrodermal activity, heart rate variability, and music listening history will be measured at 14 days.

What this trial measures
- Electrodermal Activity (EDA)14 days
EDA will be assessed via a research-level wearable sensor (Empatica EmbracePlus) that will collect continuous physiological data
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV)14 days
HRV will be assessed via a research-level wearable sensor (Empatica EmbracePlus) that will collect continuous physiological data
- Music Listening History14 days
Music listening history will be collected via Spotify by requesting a complete streaming history record for each participant during the study period.
- Self-Reported Acute Stress14 days
Participants will be instructed to press an "event marker" button on the EmbracePlus sensor device during moments that they feel more stressed than usual.
- Self-Reported Positive and Negative Emotions14 days
Participants will report perceptions of positive and negative emotions via the surveys, administered four times each day.
