Study Summary

This is a pilot study to assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a single-session ("ultrabrief") psychological intervention to reduce alcohol use in participants with mild to moderate alcohol use disorder (AUD). The intervention is a condensed form of the Life Enhancement Treatment for Substance Use (LETS ACT), behavioral activation (BA) for co-morbid depression and substance use. The investigators hypothesize that UBA is feasible and acceptable. The investigators hypothesize that UBA will reduce overall total alcohol consumption as determined by self-report measures capturing drinking behavior for the 3 months prior to treatment versus the 3 months after treatment when compared to an "assessment only" condition.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will compute the average rate of enrollment of eligible participants when 20 participants have concluded study participation to determine the feasibility of such interventions.
