Study Summary

Up to one-half of those in treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) has a co-occurring anxiety disorder ("comorbidity"), a condition that marks a high degree of treatment resistance, severity and relapse risk in AUD treatment patients. The investigators conceptualize comorbidity as a feed-forward system ("vicious cycle", \[VC\]) of interacting negative affect/stress, drinking motives/behavior, coping skills deficits, environmental circumstances, and neurobiological adaptations. Based on this model, the investigators developed and validated the VC cognitive-behavioral therapy (VC-CBT) to disrupt this system at several key linkage points. In a recently completed randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators found that adding the VC-CBT to standard AUD inpatient treatment resulted in better alcohol outcomes 4 months following treatment than did adding an anxiety treatment or standard AUD treatment alone. With a number needed to treat (NNT) index of 8 (relative to standard AUD treatment alone), the VC-CBT could, if broadly disseminated, have a large positive impact on AUD treatment. Unfortunately, several significant barriers related to the resource- and expertise-intensive delivery of the VC-CBT limit its dissemination potential and, hence, the impact of this otherwise effective treatment. Therefore, to maximize the public health and scientific potential of the investigators work, the investigators propose to adapt the therapist-delivered VC-CBT to a computer-delivered format to facilitate reliable and economical dissemination of the VC-CBT while maintaining its established efficacy.
