Computer Training in CBT for Spanish-speaking Alcohol Users
- Study HIC#:2000020677
- Last Updated:01/01/0001
Brief Summary:
Specific aims are as follows:
- To adapt our existing CBT4CBT program for use with Spanish-speaking alcohol users in a web-based platform
- To conduct an 8-week randomized trial evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of adding CBT4CBT-Spanish to treatment as usual in a community based treatment program in a population of 90 Spanish-speaking individuals who meet current criteria for alcohol use disorder
- To evaluate the long-term durability and/or delayed emergence of treatment effects through a six month follow-up after termination of the study treatments. Given previous evidence regarding the durability of standard clinician-delivered CBT and computer-assisted CBT4CBT, we hypothesize that CBT4CBTSpanish will be significantly more effective than standard treatment alone through the follow-up.

Trial Purpose and Description
We are requesting permission to adapt and develop CBT4CBT for use with Spanish-speaking individuals with alcohol use disorders from our web-based version of our Computer-Based Training in CBT for Spanish Speaking Substance Users or CBT4CBT, and conduct a randomized clinical trial evaluating it among Spanish speaking alcohol users. The English version of CBT4CBT was developed and the initial clinical trial conducted under HIC #17894 and the Spanish Substance Use version was developed and conducted under HIC #09151
