What this research studies

This research investigates how peer recovery coaching can support patients hospitalized due to alcohol use disorder (AUD). It aims to provide ongoing care that addresses the root causes of their hospitalization, helping them to reduce alcohol consumption and improve recovery outcomes. The study will utilize various methods, including ecological momentary assessments and objective measures of alcohol consumption, to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention. By linking patients to peer coaches during their hospital stay, the research seeks to enhance social support and self-efficacy, which are crucial for long-term recovery.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals who are hospitalized due to complications related to alcohol use disorder.

Not a fit: Patients who are not hospitalized for alcohol-related issues or those without a diagnosis of alcohol use disorder may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved recovery rates and reduced hospital readmissions for patients with alcohol use disorder.

How similar studies have performed: Previous pilot studies have shown promising results for similar peer recovery coaching interventions, indicating potential for success in this larger study.
