Trial Outcomes & Findings for Impaired Risk Awareness During Intoxication in DUI Offenders (NCT NCT05247788)

Orientation session all subjects complete binge drinking measure (TLFB) and PACS. Up to 1 week later, participants attend a Pre-Intervention session, all receive 0.65 g/kg dose of alcohol or placebo on separate days in a counterbalanced order. Subjects are then randomized to intervention or no intervention.

Impaired Risk Awareness During Intoxication in DUI Offenders

Alcohol consumption will be assessed at monthly intervals from baseline to follow up and will be measured using a timeline follow back assessment. Participants will self-report data on number of days when the participant demonstrates binge drinking (5+ drinks per day for men; 4+ drinks per day for women).

Change in tonic alcohol cravings over the past week will be assessed using the Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS) which is a five-item self-report indicated with strong psychometrics. 'Frequency' is the frequency of craving with a score on a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 6 with higher scores meaning worse craving. 'Strong' is the intensity of craving with a score on a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 6 with higher scores meaning worse craving. 'Time' is the duration of craving with a score on a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 6 with higher scores meaning worse craving. 'Resist' is the inability to resist craving with a score on a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 6 with higher scores meaning worse craving. 'Crave' is overall craving with a score on a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 6 with higher scores meaning worse craving. PACS uses a 0-6 point Likert scale for each item where a higher number for each of the five items indicates more cravings. Total scores range from 0 to 30.

The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness Ver. 2 (MAIA-2) is a 37-item self-report measure of 8 dimensions of self-perceived interoceptive ability. The dimensions are: Notice (awareness of uncomfortable, comfortable, or neutral body sensations), Not Distracted (tendency not to ignore or distract oneself from sensations of pain or discomfort), Not Worried (tendency not to worry or experience emotional distress with sensations of pain or discomfort), Attention Regulation (ability to sustain and control attention to body sensations), Emotion (awareness of the connection between body sensations and emotional states), Self-Regulation (ability to regulate distress by attention to body sensations), Body (tendency to actively "listen" to the body for insight), and Trust (experience of one's body as safe and trustworthy). The minimum score for each of the eight dimensions is 0 while the maximum score is 5, with higher scores indicating better outcomes/greater interoception.
