Sekseverschillen in de reactie op onthouding van alcohol. (SPAR)

2 november 2026 bijgewerkt door: Martin Plawecki, Indiana University

In laboratory animals, repeated cycles of abstinence from and return to alcohol drinking can lead to changes in alcohol intake. In a study of the effect of abstinence on drinking in humans, the investigators found evidence that abstinence affects drinking differently in women compared to men. In the present study, the investigators propose to study how men and women respond to abstinence, and whether this information can be used to improve intervention and prevention strategies.

Studie Overzicht

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Women and men differ in how quickly they progress from social to problematic alcohol drinking. In laboratory animals, short-term abstinence increases alcohol consumption, with repeated deprivations leading to disordered drinking. In a preliminary study, the investigators found that men and women differed in how their motivation to drink alcohol changed after a short period of abstinence. The investigators hypothesize that this difference may affect their transition to alcohol use disorders. The objectives of this application are to characterize the human post abstinence response, and use identical alcohol exposures to study the mechanisms underlying identified sex differences. In addition, the investigators will complete a 2 year prospective study of natural drinking patterns to assess how self-reported abstinence intervals influence drinking trajectories. The long-term goal of this project is to inform alcohol use disorder treatment and to design and test novel interventions using the laboratory model of post-abstinence response. There is a critical unfilled need to understand sex differences in disease progression, and this lab-based assessment coupled to longitudinal follow-up provides the rigorous experimental design to begin to meet that need. This project will increase scientific knowledge by advancing the translation between preclinical and clinical models, eventually informing sex-specific intervention and prevention strategies for problematic drinking and establishing a model to test those interventions..

Wapens en interventies

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: Free access alcohol self-administration

During the 2.5-hour free-access self-administration sessions, the participant may choose to complete a task for an alcohol or water reward. Interventions include Abstinence from Alcohol and Usual Drinking

Participants will undergo a laboratory alcohol infusion session that terminates 2 weeks of monitored abstinence from alcohol

Participants will undergo a laboratory alcohol infusion session during a period of usual drinking behavior

During the laboratory alcohol infusion sessions, alcohol is infused through an indwelling catheter.

Andere namen:
  • 6,0& (v/V) ethanoloplossing
Experimenteel: Clamped alcohol exposure

A battery of behavioral tasks will be administered to participants before, and at the beginning and end of a 3 hour clamped exposure to alcohol (fixed at 80 mg/dL). EEG will be recorded throughout to assess event related potentials associated with task performance. Interventions include Abstinence from Alcohol and Usual Drinking.

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Response to abstinence as a predictor of alcohol risk in women and men.
Tijdsspanne: 2 years

For both Arm 1 and Arm 2, daily alcohol consumption will be surveyed every 2 months for 2 years following the laboratory sessions. Self-imposed periods of abstinence will be assessed to determine if subsequent daily alcohol intake increases or decreases, and to determine if men and women differ in the effect of abstinence on drinking.
