Summary

This study is examining the effectiveness of Al-Anon Intensive Referral (AIR) with Concerned Others (COs) of individuals in treatment for alcohol use disorders ("drinkers"). AIR's goal is to facilitate Al-Anon participation and positive outcomes among COs.

Detailed description

In a randomized controlled trial, this 4-year project is evaluating AIR's effectiveness for COs. COs and their drinkers are assessed at baseline and 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year follow-ups. Hypotheses are that, compared to usual care, AIR will increase Al-Anon participation and improve CO outcomes. We will examine hypotheses using generalized mixed-effects regression models (GLMM). This project is built on the foundation that it is essential to help COs because of their own suffering.
