A new, low-cost e-health treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder using mental imagery

该项目提供了基于手机的功能想象训练(FIT)的第一次大规模测试，这是一种新的、低成本的方法，可以帮助人们使用心理意象改变行为，无论他们住在哪里。这项试验解决了酒精使用障碍--这是一种对健康和社会有重大影响的常见问题，将适合度与言语激励治疗进行了比较，并测试了12个月来对酒精使用和生活质量的影响。成本效益和对结果的预测也被检验。

This project offers the first large-scale test of phone-based Functional Imagery Training (FIT), a new, low-cost way to help people change behaviours using mental imagery, regardless of where they live. The trial addresses Alcohol Use Disorder—a common problem with substantial health and social impacts, comparing FIT with verbal motivational treatments, and testing effects on alcohol use and quality of life over 12 months. Cost-effectiveness and predictions of outcome are also examined.
