NCT ID NCT05410561
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether telehealth programs can help people manage their alcohol use and improve well-being. About 300 adults with alcohol use disorder will join remotely via video or phone. They will be split into two groups: one gets a telehealth program, the other gets usual care. Researchers will track drinking habits and treatment attendance for up to 12 months to see which approach works better.
