Trial Outcomes & Findings for Preliminary Effectiveness of Remotely Monitored Blood Alcohol Concentration Device as Treatment Modality (NCT NCT04380116)

NCT ID: NCT04380116

Last Updated: 2023-05-26

Results Overview

The Alcohol TLFB is a drinking assessment method that obtains estimates of daily drinking and has been evaluated with clinical and nonclinical populations. Using a calendar, people provide retrospective estimates of their daily drinking over a specified time (previous month). The Alcohol TLFB allows several dimensions of a person's drinking to be separately examined: (a) variability (i.e., scatter); (b) pattern (i.e., shape); and (c) extent of drinking (i.e., elevation; how much).
