Participant Flow
Participants were recruited from the Center for Great Expectations (CGE) in Somerset, NJ. Those who completed their intake for alcohol use disorder at the CGE were consented and screened for eligibility.
After enrollment, participants first completed a Pre-Intervention phase to be trained on study procedures before being assigned to a group at their first lab session. Participants were withdrawn from the study during this phase if they withdrew from their treatment at the CGE, became pregnant, could not schedule their first lab session, or voluntarily withdrew their participation in the study. Additionally, some participants were withdrawn due to the impact of the COIVD-19 pandemic.
Participant milestones
| Measure |
Resonance Breathing
Breathing is paced to the cardiovascular resonance frequency where heart, respiratory, and brain signals become aligned. This can potentially positively impact cognitive-emotional functioning.
Resonance Breathing: Breathing is paced with a pre-installed iPhone app that includes a visual pacer.
|
Non-Resonance Breathing
Breathing is paced at a non-resonance frequency. It does not align heart, respiratory, and brain signals, and thus does not impact cognitive-emotional functioning.
Non-Resonance Breathing: Breathing is paced with a pre-installed iPhone app that includes a visual pacer.
