Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Most individuals entering treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) present with cognitive deficits across a range of cognitive domains, and these deficits frequently persist for six months or longer following remission. Cognitive deficits are associated with increased relapse rates, less treatment compliance, and poorer treatment outcomes in individuals seeking substance use treatment. Despite the high rates of cognitive impairments among adults with AUDs and their negative impact on treatment outcomes, current evidence-based treatments for AUDs do not specifically treat or address cognitive symptoms. Accessible (e.g., brief, manualized, delivered via telehealth) and effective treatments for adults with AUDs and cognitive deficits are urgently needed. The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a manualized, 8-week, Compensatory Cognitive Training (CCT) intervention delivered via telehealth for Veterans in early remission from alcohol use disorder (AUD). The investigators hypothesize that Motivationally Enhanced Compensatory Cognitive Training for Addictions (ME-CCT-A) will be feasible and acceptable in a pilot trial of ME-CCT-A delivered via telehealth.
