Trial Outcomes & Findings for Feasibility of Providing Computerized CBT in the Black Church (NCT NCT03579290)

NCT ID: NCT03579290

Last Updated: 2024-03-08

Results Overview

Feasibility is a composite variable (yes/no indicator). This will be determined by counting the number of participants completing the CBT4CBT intervention with significant reductions in drug use, as measured by mean change scores in the severity and quantity of substance use, and functioning over the course of treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: This outcome measure was never collected.

Feasibility is a composite variable (yes/no indicator). This will be determined by counting the number of participants completing the CBT4CBT intervention with significant reductions in drug use, as measured by mean change scores in the severity and quantity of substance use, and functioning over the course of treatment.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: Participants that completed the program.

Acceptability of treatment will be assessed by giving each participant a post-intervention satisfaction survey that assesses satisfaction with the intervention, perception of outcome, attitudes about spiritual practices accompanying CBT4CBT modules, and whether the participant would recommend this program to a friend. To evaluate the acceptability of CBT4CBT with BSUD in a church setting and to identify if religious behaviors led by trained church based health advisors (CHA), may increase the likely suitability of this intervention within the Black church.
