ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Personalizing Treatment Delivery," is focused on understanding how anxiety disorders and alcohol use problems often occur together. The researchers want to use new digital technology to identify specific factors that make some people more likely to have issues with alcohol when they also have anxiety or trauma-related symptoms. By gathering this information, they aim to create a personalized treatment plan that can help individuals seeking psychological support.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old, have access to a smartphone, and experience significant anxiety or trauma symptoms along with alcohol use problems. It's also important that you're interested in receiving counseling through telehealth (online). However, if you're currently receiving counseling or taking psychiatric medication that isn't stable, you may not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to engage with innovative tools that will help shape your treatment and improve your overall well-being. The trial is currently recruiting participants who live in New Jersey or New York.
