Summary
This study is testing whether a computer-delivered therapy program can help people who have both an anxiety disorder and alcohol use disorder. Participants will use an online program that teaches skills like breathing control and problem solving to break the cycle of anxiety and drinking. The goal is to see if this approach reduces heavy drinking and improves outcomes, offering a low-cost option that could reach many more people than traditional therapy.
