This is a Stage I open pilot to develop a new intervention, Mentorship for Alcohol Problems (MAP), for individuals with alcohol-use disorders in community treatment programs.
Ten mentors participated for 6 months until 30 mentees received MAP for 12 weeks. Behavioral and biological measures were conducted in addition to fidelity measures. Four focus groups were held with participants and clinician feedback surveys were completed.
Feasibility and acceptance data in the domains of patient interest, safety and satisfaction were promising. Mentees reduced their alcohol and substance use and the majority of mentors sustained abstinence. Fidelity measures indicated that mentors adhered to the delivery of treatment.
MAP shows promise to be incorporated into professionally run outpatient alcohol treatment programs to assist in the reduction of alcohol and substance use.
这是一项 I 期开放性试点研究,旨在为社区治疗项目中的酒精使用障碍患者开发一种新的干预措施——酒精问题指导(MAP)。
10 名指导者参与了为期 6 个月的研究,直到 30 名被指导者接受了为期 12 周的 MAP 治疗。除了进行忠实度测量外,还进行了行为和生物学测量。对参与者进行了 4 次焦点小组讨论,并完成了临床医生反馈调查。
在患者兴趣、安全性和满意度等领域,可行性和接受性数据很有前景。被指导者减少了酒精和物质的使用,大多数指导者保持了戒断。忠实度测量表明,指导者坚持了治疗的实施。
MAP 有望被纳入专业的门诊酒精治疗计划中,以帮助减少酒精和物质的使用。
