Summary

This study follows 100 adults who drink alcohol at least weekly and have some interest in cutting back. Researchers want to see how alcohol use, suicidal thoughts, and decision-making are linked. Participants get access to a self-guided online cognitive behavioral therapy program (CBT4CBT) and complete three months of follow-up assessments. The goal is to understand what predicts engagement with the program and whether it helps reduce drinking and suicidal thoughts.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Self-guided cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT) via computer or internet
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a scalable, low-cost digital tool to help people reduce alcohol use and related suicidal thoughts.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-group observational study with no control group, so results may not prove the therapy works. Engagement with the self-guided program may be low.
