在酒精使用障碍（AUD）受试者的公开会议中使用带宽为384 kbit/s的视频会议。研究参与者在四周的时间里接受了8次团体治疗，这些治疗来自一位经过认证的成瘾顾问。结果评估包括自我报告措施，定性访谈和图表审查。在开始研究的18名受试者中，有14名参加了至少四次治疗，完成了自我报告评估和主题访谈。参与者报告了对远程精神病学的高满意度，发现干预措施是高度可信的，具有良好的会议出席率和与传统同室治疗预期相当的自然减员。总体而言，82%的受试者表示他们会向朋友或家人推荐这项服务。结果表明，使用视频会议为成人AUD提供服务的可行性，并鼓励未来的随机对照试验的表现。
Videoconferencing at a bandwidth of 384 kbit/s was used in open sessions for subjects with alcohol use disorders (AUD). Study participants received eight sessions of group therapy over a four-week period from an accredited addictions counsellor. Outcome assessment included self-report measures, a qualitative interview and a chart review. Of the 18 subjects who started the study, 14 attended at least four sessions of therapy, completed self-report assessments and the thematic interview. The participants reported high levels of satisfaction with telepsychiatry, found the intervention to be highly credible, had good session attendance and attrition comparable to that expected with conventional same-room treatment. In all, 82% of subjects reported that they would recommend the service to a friend or family member. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using videoconferencing for service delivery to adults with AUD, and encourage the future performance of randomized controlled trials.
