DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Situations involving negative affect account for nearly half of all relapses to alcohol use among men and women engaged in alcohol treatment. Despite the key role of negative affect, there are currently no well-developed, empirically-tested, efficacious treatments that specifically attempt to reduce the impact of negative affect on relapse to alcohol use among alcohol dependent men and women. In the present study (submitted in response to the Program Announcement [PA 03-066] "Behavioral Therapies Development Program"), we propose to develop and pilot test a clinical intervention that addresses the problem of negative affect as it relates to alcohol use and alcohol relapse. The goal of this project is to develop and test an intervention designed to assist individuals enrolled in alcohol treatment in regulating and coping with negative affective episodes that threaten relapse to alcohol use. In Phase 1 of the project (i.e., manual development phase), we will develop and refine a 12-session treatment manual for conducting Affect Regulation Training (ART), which will be delivered concurrent with a standard 12-session Treatment as Usual (TAU) for alcohol dependent men and women. During Phase 2 (i.e., pilot study), we will conduct a pilot study in which the outcomes of individuals participating in TAU + ART will be compared to individuals who receive TAU plus a Health and Lifestyle supplement (TAU + HLS). The development of a treatment enhancement intervention (i.e., ART) to address the problem of negative affect among alcoholics in treatment is consistent with the stated aims of the Program Announcement, which notes that an appropriate Stage 1 activity would be a "therapeutic intervention that can be added to enhance an existing behavioral therapy." The long-term objective of this line of research is to make available to clinicians a brief, effective affect regulation intervention that can be added to enhance existing empirically-supported treatments for alcohol dependence.

描述（由申请人提供）：涉及负面影响的情况占所有酒精使用复发的近一半的男性和女性从事酒精治疗。尽管负面影响的关键作用，目前还没有成熟的，经过临床试验的，有效的治疗方法，特别是试图减少酒精依赖的男性和女性的酒精使用复发的负面影响的影响。在本研究中（根据项目公告[PA 03-066]“行为疗法开发项目”提交），我们建议开发并试点测试一种临床干预措施，以解决与饮酒和酒精复发相关的负面影响问题。该项目的目标是开发和测试一种干预措施，旨在帮助参加酒精治疗的个人调节和应对可能复发的消极情感事件。在项目的第一阶段（即，手册开发阶段），我们将开发和完善12节治疗手册，用于进行情绪调节培训（ART），该手册将与标准的12节治疗（TAU）同时提供 酒精依赖的男性和女性。在第二阶段（即，试点研究），我们将进行一项试点研究，其中参与TAU + ART的个体的结果将与接受TAU+健康和生活方式补充剂（TAU + HLS）的个体进行比较。开发治疗增强干预措施（即，ART）来解决治疗中酗酒者的负面影响问题，这与该计划公告的既定目标是一致的，该公告指出，适当的第一阶段活动将是一种“治疗干预，可以增加以加强现有的行为治疗。“这一系列研究的长期目标是为临床医生提供一种简短，有效的影响调节干预措施，可以添加到加强现有的酒精依赖的药物支持治疗。
