About this study

Official title: A Critical Illness Recovery Navigator for Alcohol: a Pilot Clinical Trial

Excessive alcohol consumption is common in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Among patients who survive an ICU admission, excessive alcohol consumption is associated with a higher risk of being admitted the hospital. In this study, the Investigators will compare an intervention designed to address excessive drinking in ICU survivors to usual care. This intervention combines motivational interviewing (MI) and shared decision making (SDM). MI and SDM share several core components including the development of a therapeutic alliance and promotion of autonomy. MI can be employed in the context of motivating a patient to change their drinking. Once this decision has been made, SDM can be employed to help a patient decide amongst multiple reasonable treatment options. The Investigators long-term goal is to test whether MI-SDM is better than usual care and whether multiple sessions of MI-SDM are better than a single session. This pilot clinical trial will demonstrate the feasibility of conducting a larger efficacy study to test these hypotheses.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    This group will undergo contact with Recovery Navigator on an "as needed basis" up to 6 months and then have a 3 month and 6 month follow-up visit.

  • Recovery Navigator prior to hospital dischargeBehavioural

    Also called Recovery Navigator

    This group will undergo one interaction with Recovery Navigator prior to hospital discharge and then have a 3 month and 6 month follow-up visit.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Continued InteractionOtherThis group will undergo contact with Recovery Navigator on an "as needed basis" up to 6 months.They will then have a 3 month and 6 month follow up visit with the PI. There is no drug or treatment administered to the subject. The intervention is the conversation/contact with the Recovery Navigator, in this arm, it is continued throughout the study. Note: The first 10 subjects will not be randomized and will be assigned to this Arm. The purpose of this is to ensure the fidelity of the intervention. The remaining 60 subjects will be randomized equally among the three Arms. Data from the first 10 subjects will not be considered for the outcome measures.
