Brief Summary:
Hazardous alcohol consumption is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States Further it is highly comorbid with anxiety and depressive symptoms and disorders hazardous alcohol use is associated with increased anxietydepression Indeed affectively-vulnerable hazardous drinkers ie drinkers with elevated negative mood states or psychopathology are at risk for higher drinking rates more problematic drinking worsened mental health and greater disability Specialty care options are needed to address the unique affective needs of hazardous drinkers One promising intervention approach is to employ personalized feedback interventions PFI These interventions are brief efficient and have been shown to be effective in a number of settings and across an array of populations However PFIs have not been evaluated among affectively vulnerable hazardous drinkers
In order to address the heterogeneity of negative mood states and disorders among hazardous drinkers there is a need to theoretically orient the intervention approach on underlying transdiagnostic processes that underpin affective psychopathology Anxiety sensitivity AS the tendency to fear anxiety-related sensations is a core transdiagnostic vulnerability factor underlying the etiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders other emotional disorders and hazardous drinking AS is malleable in response to psychosocial interventions making it a prime risk factor to target in preventionintervention programs including PFI approaches Integrated treatments that address hazardous drinking via AS are nonexistant As most hazardous drinkers typically do not access treatment because of such barriers as cost time commitments stigma and logistics eg travel scheduling appointments there is a need to develop an accessible brief integrated tool to explicitly address the drinking-affective vulnerability comorbidity via AS To address this public health gap the current proposal seeks to employ a computer-delivered integrated PFI that directly addresses hazardous drinking-AS in a personalized manner Hazardous drinkers with elevated AS will be randomly assigned to receive one session of PFI or attention information control with follow-up assessments at one week and one month post-intervention The PFI will focus on targeted feedback about drinking behaviors AS and adaptive coping strategies
