What this trial studies
This pilot test evaluates a web-based Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) intervention designed to support individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) as they transition from standard outpatient treatment. The study follows a structured framework for digital intervention development, which includes contextual inquiry, value specification, design, operationalization, and summative evaluation. By gathering insights from users and stakeholders, the program aims to create a tailored online resource that enhances recovery outcomes for participants. The intervention is intended for individuals who have recently completed or are leaving outpatient treatment.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 or older who are exiting or have recently completed outpatient treatment for alcohol use disorder.
Not a fit: Patients currently experiencing psychosis or dementia, or those who do not meet the criteria for alcohol use disorder, may not benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could provide a valuable online resource to help individuals maintain sobriety and prevent relapse after traditional treatment.
How similar studies have performed: While similar web-based interventions have shown promise in supporting recovery, this specific approach is novel and has not been extensively tested.
