Study Summary

The goal of this study is to determine whether intravenous infusion of allopregnanolone (ALLO) attenuates stress-induced craving and stress-induced anxiety in a clinical laboratory setting. The secondary objective of this project is to characterize the behavioral effects of ALLO in heavy drinkers.

Primary Outcome

The Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ) is an 8-question, self-administered measure of drinking urges. Questions are in the form of a 7-point scale with participants endorsing the extent to which they agree or disagree with statements relating to desire to drink (4 items), expectation of a desired outcome from drinking (2 items), and inability to avoid drinking if alcohol was available (2 items). Total scores range from 8 (strongly disagree) to 56 (strongly agree).
