Brief Summary:
This study will explore the feasibility acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of a smart phone delivered form of cognitive training intervention Approach Bias Modification ABM in a non-clinical community sample of middle to older adults 55 years reporting hazardous alcohol use in a pilot randomised controlled trial RCT This app is called AAT-APP
Detailed Description:
Alcohol use in older adults is of particular concern with the 55-74 year old cohort most likely to exceed lifetime alcohol risk Approach Bias Modification ABM is a form of computerised cognitive training that is an efficacious intervention for alcohol use disorder Previous studies are limited in that the stimuli are not personalised nor are interventions readily accessible to non-treatment seeking problem drinkers This has led to the development of a world-first smart phone version of ABM called AAT-APP
The current study aims to explore the feasibility acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of AAT-APP in reducing alcohol consumption and cravings in a pilot RCT with a non-clinical community sample of 100 older adults aged 55 years reporting hazardous alcohol use ie a score of 8 on the AUDIT recruited via targeted advertising Participants in active training will upload or select pre-selected photos of beverages and meaningful activities which will form the avoid and approach stimuli respectively then complete two training sessions per week for four weeks with results compared to controls AAT-APP holds promise as an innovate cost-effective and remotely accessible adjunctive support tool
