Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app called Connections can help people with alcohol-related liver disease stop drinking. About 298 participants from two medical centers will use the app along with their usual care, or just receive usual care alone. The goal is to see if the app helps them stay sober and improve their liver health over six months.
