Evaluation of an integrated personalized feedback intervention for hazardous drinkers with elevated anxiety sensitivity and PTSD symptoms: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hazardous drinking and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are commonly co-occurring conditions among adults. Motivational enhancement interventions, such as personalized feedback interventions (PFI), have demonstrated efficacy for reducing hazardous drinking. Emerging though scant literature has evaluated PFI for co-occurring PTSD and hazardous alcohol use. A transdiagnostic risk factor that may underlie this co-occurrence and inform novel PFI development is anxiety sensitivity (AS).

Objective

To use a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a novel, computer-based PFI for hazardous drinkers with at least subclinical PTSD and elevated AS (AP-PFI), against a time-matched comparison condition (C-PFI).
