ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how technology can help people who struggle with alcohol use disorders. Researchers want to find out if using online programs can make it easier for individuals to manage their health and behaviors related to alcohol. The programs will focus on understanding what is important to participants, setting health goals, and learning new skills to handle their alcohol use and overall well-being. This study aims to discover effective ways to provide health information that is both useful and engaging.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between the ages of 18 and 65 and have a history of heavy alcohol use in the past month. They should also have access to the internet and a phone, and be able to give their consent to participate. Participants can expect to engage with technology-driven tools designed to support their health journey. It's important to note that those currently receiving treatment for alcohol use or involved in other similar studies may not be eligible. This trial is a great opportunity for those looking for new ways to manage their alcohol use and improve their health.
