This Project Grant award of $685,691 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), awarded under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) on September 25, 2025, supports the development and piloting of an innovative Motivational Interviewing Video Reinforcement (MIVR) intervention. The MIVR approach aims to extend the impact of a single Motivational Interviewing session for patients with Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease (ALD) by providing personalized video clips of the patient's own self-generated "change talk" to help promote abstinence and treatment engagement after hospital discharge. The project will refine the MIVR intervention through qualitative methods and user feedback, with the goal of addressing the high rates of return to alcohol use and poor outcomes often experienced by ALD patients following hospitalization.
