This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) supports the development and pilot testing of a brief, digitally-enhanced intervention called IMPROVE to reduce alcohol use among individuals receiving medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD).

The $630,000 award will fund a two-phase project over 3 years starting August 2024. In Phase 1, the research team will adapt the IMPROVE intervention content, delivery, and digital tools based on input from experts and stakeholders, and develop an implementation protocol. In Phase 2, the adapted IMPROVE intervention will be evaluated in a pilot randomized controlled trial against an active control condition to assess its impact on daily alcohol use and MOUD adherence among 80 heavy alcohol users receiving MOUD. The project will also examine changes in key intervention targets like anxiety sensitivity and intolerance of uncertainty, and how those relate to changes in alcohol use.

This grant supports research to develop and test a novel digital intervention aimed at improving outcomes for a high-risk population struggling with co-occurring alcohol misuse and opioid use disorder. The project leverages the infrastructure and expertise of the primary awardee, The Ohio State University, to advance understanding and treatment of substance use disorders.
