Black Church Treatment Study
Running, not enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Alcohol Use Disorder
In brief
This study will conduct a randomized clinical trial comparing levels of treatment initiation, engagement, and alcohol outcomes for a novel treatment strategy (CBT4CBT delivered in the Black church) compared with traditional outpatient specialty addiction treatment for a large sample of Black adults with AUD. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine which setting (church or specialty clinic) (1) has better treatment initiation and retention rates and (2) better AUD outcomes as measured by percentage of days abstinent (PDA) (8 weeks, 3, 6 and 9 months follow up).
