A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational project enrolls adults (18–99) with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and collects information on their health literacy and self-efficacy using standardized questionnaires and interviews. No treatments or experimental interventions are provided; researchers will analyze responses to quantify patients' ability and confidence in managing their condition. Individuals who are pregnant or who do not speak sufficient German are excluded. The work is based at Hannover Medical School and aims to identify gaps that could guide targeted education and care strategies.
