Improving Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment for Gender Minority Populations
Sponsor: New York State Psychiatric Institute
Summary
Gender minority (GM; transgender and gender non-conforming) individuals experience disproportionately high rates of hazardous drinking and alcohol use disorder (AUD) and are an NIH-designated disparity population (NOT-MD-19-001). Despite marked disparities and unique alcohol risk factors, there are no evidence-based alcohol interventions for this population. This study will conduct mixed-methods formative research with an established multi-site longitudinal GM cohort to develop and assess the feasibility of the first culturally-adapted psychosocial treatment intervention for GMs with AUD. The study will evaluate an adapted version of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), with adaptations intended to enhance the responsiveness of IPT to the unique life experiences of GM individuals that may influence alcohol consumption.
