Liver clinic program aims to tackle alcohol use disorder
NCT ID NCT07525258
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new program designed to help liver doctors provide treatment for alcohol use disorder. The program includes education for doctors and patients, decision support tools, and feedback on performance. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and acceptable to clinicians. The study involves 30 healthcare providers from Yale liver clinics.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Implementation Intervention (education, decision support, feedback)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a practical way for liver clinics to routinely offer alcohol use disorder treatment, potentially reducing liver complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program may not be adopted by clinicians or may not improve patient outcomes.
