TRIS: Contingency Management App for Alcohol Use Disorder
2026年7月27日 更新者:University of Sao Paulo General Hospital
Remote Treatment With Incentives for Sobriety (TRIS): A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Contingency Management App for Alcohol Use Disorder
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a major public health concern associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and impaired social and occupational functioning.
Contingency Management (CM) is an evidence-based behavioral intervention that provides incentives contingent on abstinence and has demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of substance use disorders.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of Tratamento Remoto com Incentivos à Sobriedade (TRIS), a Brazilian mobile health application that integrates a smartphone app with a Bluetooth-enabled breathalyzer (BACtrack) to deliver remote CM for AUD.
Participants will be randomized to receive either standard outpatient treatment plus TRIS-based CM or standard outpatient treatment with remote alcohol monitoring only.
The primary objective is to determine whether TRIS-based CM increases biochemically verified alcohol abstinence compared with standard outpatient treatment alone.
研究概览
详细说明
A total of 130 adults with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) from two public outpatient clinics in São Paulo, Brazil, will be randomized (1:1) to the experimental or control group.
The experimental group will receive standard outpatient treatment plus 12 weeks of remote Contingency Management (CM) delivered through the TRIS mobile application.
Participants will submit three daily breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) samples at 1:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and 9:00 p.m. using a BACtrack Bluetooth breathalyzer connected to the app.
Financial incentives will be provided when all three daily samples are submitted on time and are alcohol-negative (BrAC = 0.00).
Incentives begin at R$5.00 per day and increase by R$2.00 for each consecutive day of verified abstinence, up to a maximum of R$15.00 per day.
Missed or alcohol-positive samples reset the incentive value to R$5.00 on the next eligible day.
Incentives will be redeemed via PIX transfer.
The control group will receive standard outpatient treatment and will also use the TRIS application and BACtrack breathalyzer to submit three daily BrAC samples but will not receive contingency management incentives.
The primary outcome is the number of biochemically verified days of alcohol abstinence during the 12-week intervention.
Secondary outcomes include days without heavy alcohol use, treatment adherence, usability and acceptability of the TRIS application, alcohol withdrawal severity, obsessive-compulsive drinking symptoms, alcohol craving, alcohol use severity, quality of life, psychiatric symptoms, disability, and healthcare service utilization.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline, weekly during the 12-week intervention, and at follow-up visits scheduled at Weeks 16, 20, and 24.
