Electronic Harm Reduction Treatment for Alcohol

Recruiting now · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Alcohol Use Disorder, Harm Reduction, Housing First (eg. Permanent Supportive Housing)

In brief

The goal of this project is to transform a successful, face-to-face harm-reduction treatment (HaRT-A) into a digital format, creating eHaRT-A. This new platform is specifically designed for people who have experienced homelessness and an alcohol use disorder (AUD), living within the framework of permanent, supportive, Housing First (HF) facilities. We hypothesize eHaRT-A will be more effective than the standard HF services in reducing alcohol-related harm and improving the overall quality of life for participants.
