Validating an Autonomous Interactive Internet-Based Delivery of an Empirically Supported Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Comorbidity
Sponsor: University of Minnesota
Summary
This project is designed to determine if a computer-delivered cognitive-behavioral treatment can improve the otherwise poor alcohol use disorder treatment outcomes for individuals with a co-occurring anxiety disorder. In the past, the investigators showed that this treatment does improve outcomes for these individuals when delivered by a therapist. If the present work shows that the computer-delivered version is also effective, it would provide an inexpensive program with virtually unlimited scalability to enable access to the treatment by many more individuals than is currently the case.

Negative Emotions and Addiction Tools Program (NEAT)- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
The program provides simplified clinical, learning and neuroscience-based education about the vicious cycle in which negative affect serves to motivate drinking, which, in turn, worsens negative affect. Participants also learn how each of three skills (breathing control, cognitive restructuring, problem solving) was designed to disrupt a specific element of the vicious cycle that includes physiological, psychological and behavioral processes.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training (PMRT)
PMRT is a standard stress management coping skill that entails tensing and releasing specified muscle groups to obtain deep muscle relaxation.
