Summary
This study is testing a specially adapted form of talk therapy for transgender and nonbinary people who have alcohol use disorder. The therapy, based on interpersonal psychotherapy, is designed to address unique life experiences that may affect drinking. The study will enroll 30 participants to see if the therapy is feasible and acceptable, and whether it reduces heavy drinking days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Culturally adapted interpersonal psychotherapy (talk therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide the first evidence-based therapy for alcohol use disorder tailored to transgender and nonbinary people, potentially reducing heavy drinking in this underserved group.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study (30 participants) that is currently suspended. The therapy may not prove effective in larger trials, and results may not apply to all gender minority individuals.
