Overview
The purpose of this single groups trial is to (Aim 1) determine relationships between alcohol use, suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs), and behavioral economic decision-making in a community sample (N = 100) of alcohol using adults who are 18 years of age or older, (Aim 2) is to determine factors that predict engagement with a remote intervention (computer based training for cognitive behavioral therapy; CBT4CBT) for alcohol and its effects on alcohol use, STBs, and decision-making with those same adults.
Participants will complete a baseline assessment and be given access for remote, self-guided CBT4CBT modules for alcohol use. Following this, participants will remotely complete three follow-up assessments over three months. This will allow for determination of incidence and predictors of alcohol use and STBs and determination of predictors of engagement and efficacy of a remote intervention for alcohol use in both samples.
