LDART for Alcohol Use Disorder

This study is testing a new web-based program called Let's Do Addiction Recovery Together! (LDART) for adults who want to reduce their alcohol use. LDART helps you set and track daily recovery goals and provides motivational messages. You would be compared to a group receiving a booklet called "Rethinking Drinking" from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism. This study aims to see if LDART is practical, acceptable, and shows early signs of helping people. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, live in Connecticut, have a smartphone with internet, and have had at least 5 heavy drinking days in the past month. The study will look at how many people join, how quickly, and how many stay in the study for 56 days.

Study design
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to either the LDART program or the "Rethinking Drinking" booklet. The study plans to enroll 80 participants.
What's involved
The study involves participating in an intervention (LDART or a psychoeducational booklet) and assessments over a period of 56 days.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
