Understanding relapse factors in alcohol use disorder
Creation of a Visualization Tool With Integrated Clinical Data to Support Clinical Intervention and Empowerment of Inpatients in Psychiatry : Basis for the Development of a Predictive Model of Relapse
This study is trying to find out what factors make people with alcohol use disorder more likely to relapse so that we can better understand and support their recovery.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to identify risk factors associated with relapse in patients suffering from alcohol use disorder (AUD). It will explore whether there are distinct clusters of patients with similar characteristics and outcomes, and which risk factors are most predictive of relapse within these clusters. Participants will complete self-administered questionnaires, undergo evaluations by others, and participate in an electrophysiological assessment. The study also investigates the potential utility of a feedback measurement system in a detoxification unit.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are hospitalized patients who are fluent in French and can provide informed consent.
Not a fit: Patients with severe perceptive disabilities or significant cognitive impairments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective treatment strategies for individuals with alcohol use disorder.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of clustering patients based on relapse risk factors is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in understanding AUD, suggesting potential for success.
