Integrated Digital Health Approach to Reduce Hazardous Alcohol Use and Chronic Pain Among Rural Populations

2026年8月31日 更新者:Tibor Palfai、Boston University Charles River Campus

Alcohol Use and Pain in Rural Populations

The current proposal seeks to test the benefit of a brief intervention combined with a digital program delivered though a smartphone app for reducing chronic pain and hazardous drinking among those in rural settings. Participants are recruited through social media and complete an online pre-screener and telephone screener to determine eligibility. All subsequent study assessment procedures are conducted through videoconferencing online. Participants complete 3 assessments over the course of 8 months. Following the first (baseline assessment) participants are randomized to either the INTERVENTION (INTV) or a treatment-as-usual CONTROL (CTL) condition. Those in the INTV condition meet with a health counselor for up to 50 minutes and then complete an 8-week smartphone-based intervention with weekly SMS based brief coaching. This in the CTL group meet with the health counselor only. Participants complete additional assessments at 3-months and 8-months post -baseline. Measures of alcohol use and pain are assessed after the intervention at 3 months and at the final outcome period at 8-months post-baseline.

調査の概要

詳細な説明

The current proposal represents an extension of previous research on the use of a smartphone-based intervention to reduce chronic pain and hazardous drinking among those in rural settings. The study is a randomized controlled trial that tests the efficacy of digital intervention for reducing pain intensity and interference and the quantity of alcohol consumption. Participants are recruited through social media and complete an online pre-screener to determine eligibility. This is followed by a telephone screener to confirm eligibility before scheduling baseline. All subsequent study assessment procedures are conducted through videoconferencing online. Following baseline assessment guided by an RA, participants are randomized to the INTERVENTION (INTV) or a treatment-as-usual CONTROL (CTL). Those in the INTV condition meet with a health counselor for up to 50 minutes and then complete an 8-week smartphone-based intervention with weekly SMS based brief coaching. This in the CTL group meet with the health counselor only. Participants complete additional assessments at 3-months and 8-months post -baseline. The 8-month assessment is the primary timepoint and assesses pain experience and alcohol use as measured by self-report and phosphatidylethanol (PEth) from a participant administered, RA supervised, finger stick. It is hypothesized that those in the INTV condition will show lower ratings of pain and less alcohol consumption at 8-months post-baseline.

介入・治療
アクティブコンパレータ:Control (CTL) arm refers to a treatment-as-usual condition.
Participants in the CTL condition receive psychoeducation about pain and alcohol and referral resources should they wish to obtain additional treatment from a health counselor
Participants are provided with psychoeducation about the reciprocal influences of hazardous drinking and chronic pain and their joint effects on health outcomes. In addition, they are provided with information about free web-based national resources should they wish to receive more information or additional help with pain or drinking
実験的:Intervention (INTV)
The Intervention (INTV) condition consists of a brief intervention with a health counselor followed by an 8-week smartphone-based program to provide cognitive behavioral and self-management skills to reduce hazardous drinking and chronic pain
The Intervention (INTV) is a brief motivational intervention with a health counselor followed by an 8-week smartphone-based program in which participants are provided with cognitive behavioral and self-management skills to reduce hazardous drinking and chronic pain. They practice skills using the app and have weekly contact with the health counselor through instant messaging
