First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study follows 120 people in group therapy for alcohol use disorder to see which patient factors—like mental health, drinking severity, personality, or thinking skills—predict who finishes treatment and stays sober a year later. Researchers hope to learn how to match patients to the best therapy for them.
