Study Summary

This proposed R21, Effect of CBT Microinterventions on Mechanisms of Behavior Change among Adults with AUD: Using Eye Tracking to Measure Pre-Post Cognitive Control, uses a translational team science approach to isolate and examine the effect of three different Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions (functional analysis (FA), cognitive restructuring for alcohol related thoughts (CR), and dealing with cravings (DC)) on specific hypothesized mechanisms (cognitive control, stimulus salience, or craving/arousal, respectively).

Primary Outcome

Changes in drinking behavior are measured by tracking eye movement patterns using antisaccade + attentional bias eyetracking tasks. Specifically, outcome mediators include changes in cognitive control (# of errors in antisaccade eye-tracking task), changes in stimulus salience (stimulus dwell time measurements), and changes in craving/arousal (pupil diameter changes in response to stimuli presentation.)
