Telehealth engagement and treatment strategies for adults living with alcohol use disorder: A sequential multiple assignment randomized trial protocol.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05594238 (Leveraging Virtual Care Strategies to Improve Access and Treatment for Individuals With Alcohol Use Disorders), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundTreatment rates for alcohol use disorder (AUD) among adults in the United States (US) are low. Healthcare systems with electronic health records (EHRs) could identify those experiencing AUD and conduct outreach followed by treatment to reduce drinking and/or AUD symptoms. Here, we describe the protocol for a sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (SMART) of multiple technology-driven adaptive interventions (ADIs) to increase AUD care and improve outcomes among adults within a large healthcare system.
methodsWe plan to enroll 400 adults in this two-stage SMART. Potential participants identified by alcohol indicators in the EHR are screened for eligibility criteria: current drinking, AUD, and lack of current AUD psychotherapy treatment. Participants are randomized to Stage 1 interventions: 1 brief motivational interviewing (MI)-focused phone session, or 4 weeks of interactive therapeutic messaging delivered via a patient-portal like system. Non-responders at a 4-week post-test are re-randomized to an enhanced dose of their Stage 1 intervention (i.e., additional phone session or 4 weeks of messaging) or to an 8-session MI-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MI-CBT) protocol via video/phone. Outcomes (e.g., drinking, treatment utilization) are measured at 4-, 8-, and 12-months post-enrollment.
conclusionsThis innovative SMART evaluates critical technology-driven ADI strategies within an AUD engagement and care model. We will identify the most effective initial strategy (phone session vs. portal messaging) and, among non-responders, we will assess the most effective follow-up strategy (additional Stage 1 dose vs. MI-CBT). Outcomes will inform the utility of scalable ADIs to engage and improve outcomes for patients with untreated AUD.
