Summary

This study compares two ways to treat alcohol use disorder in Black adults: a computer-based therapy offered in a Black church versus traditional care at a specialty clinic. Researchers want to see which setting gets more people to start and stay in treatment, and leads to more days without drinking. The study involves 137 participants and follows them for up to 9 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Computer-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT) delivered in a Black church setting
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that offering alcohol treatment in familiar community settings like churches improves access and outcomes for Black adults with alcohol use disorder.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study (137 participants) comparing settings, not testing a new drug or cure. Results may not apply to other communities or settings, and the intervention is behavioral, so individual results vary.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * at least 18 years of age * current AUD as their principal substance use disorder, confirmed via MINI100 interview, with some drinking in the past 28 days * English-speaking Exclusion Criteria: * inability to provide informed consent or participate in the study procedures as proposed in the consent * active suicidal or homicidal ideation or an unstable psychotic disorder (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder) or mood disorder (bipolar disorder, severe major depressive disorder), * current engagement in substance use treatment, and * an unwillingness to be randomized to either condition.
