Continuous Alcohol Monitoring for Pancreatitis
Status unconfirmed
Conditions studied: Pancreatitis, Alcohol Drinking
In brief
The purpose the research is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a transdermal alcohol sensing device (BACtrack Skyn), and to correlate biological and self-reported alcohol measures with the transdermal alcohol measures in patients with a history of pancreatitis. The results from this study will inform tailored, self-directed interventions for reducing alcohol consumption in persons with pancreatitis.
