Alcohol Craving and Cue Exposure in Real Time: A Pilot Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA)-Based Personalized Feedback Intervention for Young Adults.

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.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveAlcohol cues vary situationally across contexts and have been recognized as a factor that contributes to craving and alcohol use. We describe a brief web-based personalized feedback intervention (PFI) that summarizes ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data collected in a pilot study. The PFI highlighted young adults' desire to drink and the presence/absence of alcohol cues, capitalizing on variability found in the natural environment across 17 days. We examined the extent to which the EMA data collected in the pilot study were optimal for use in the PFI and participants' evaluations of the PFI.
methodEligibility criteria included being age 18-24 years and reporting one or more heavy episodic drinking occasions in the last month. Data were collected from 51 participants (mean age = 21.69 years,
resultsHigh EMA survey retention was obtained (85.8% completion). The intraclass correlation coefficient for desire to drink showed that 22% of the variability was between persons and 78% was within persons. Cues of interest were adequately reported (e.g., physical cues reported on 23.2% of P.M. surveys, being around people with whom they typically drink on 31.9% of P.M. surveys). Participants rated the intervention favorably on 8 of 14 items (mean greater than 4.0 on a scale of 1-5).
conclusionsEMA data offer rich opportunities for PFIs aimed at reducing alcohol use and consequences. The Alcohol Cue Reactivity PFI described here can inform future intervention research.
