Alcohol Research Consortium in HIV: Relapse Prevention Arm
Johns Hopkins University
Summary
3-arm type 1 pilot implementation-efficacy trial for people with alcohol use disorders to examine the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of an adapted 2-session, computerized and person delivered relapse prevention intervention.
Description
This study will develop a brief counseling intervention for people with HIV who have resumed alcohol use or resumed hazardous alcohol use after a minimum of 3 years of alcohol abstinence or 'lower risk' alcohol use. The investigators will develop a 2session person delivered and a 2-session computer delivered intervention which the investigators will then compare with the usual treatment for alcohol counseling offered at the HIV clinic. The investigators will also study the acceptability and feasibility of implementing both types of counseling in the clinic.
