Study Details

This protocol describes a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness and implementability of the CHESS Health Connections smartphone application among patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) at two medical centers in Michigan and Wisconsin, in two types of clinics: general hepatology and multidisciplinary that offers care for advanced ALD alongside co-located, integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment. The long-term goal of this and future work is to prevent disease progression and promote healthy behaviors by improving the rate of abstinence among patients with ALD earlier in the course of their disease. 298 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 6 months.

Arms

  • Experimental: Connections App
    The Connections app is based on principles of effective care for substance use disorders, such as sustained duration, peer support, improving coping skills in high-risk situations, assertive outreach, self- monitoring, prompts, and action planning. The theoretical foundation of CHESS Health is self-determination theory, which holds that an individual's adaptive functioning can be improved if the patient feels (1) competent, (2) related to others, and (3) internally motivated rather than coerced in one's actions.
  • No Intervention: Treatment as Usual

Primary Outcome Measure
