An interventional study of CBT4CBT in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Suicidal Ideation, sponsored by Mark J Rzeszutek, PhD. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-06.
Sponsored by Mark J Rzeszutek, PhD · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will evaluate the relationship between alcohol use, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and behavioral economic decision-making. Participants will complete surveys over approximately 12 weeks and will be randomly assigned to receive access to a self-guide computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT) program either immediately or after a waiting period. The study will compare participants with and without recent suicidal thoughts and behaviors to better understand factors associated with alcohol use and engagement with treatment.
This randomized, 2x2 factorial study will enroll adults who drink alcohol regularly and are interested in reducing or stopping their alcohol use. Participants will complete four online assessments approximately four weeks apart over a 12 week study period. The assessments include questionnaires about alcohol use, suicidal thoughts and behaviors and behavioral economic decision-making.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive access to Computer-Based Training for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT4CBT) program either immediately after the baseline assessment or after the second follow-up assessment. The study will compare participants with and without recent suicidal thoughts and behaviors to evaluate differences in decision-making, alcohol use, and engagement with the CBT4CBT program. The results may improve understanding of factors related to alcohol use and suicide risk and help inform future interventions for individuals with alcohol use concerns.

Start is estimated for Mar 2027; primary completion for Mar 2029, 24 months later.
Of 470 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Alcoholism, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 55. This study's planned 24 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 493 studies reached it within 33 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 53.
