Motivating Chronic Hepatitis C Patients to Reduce Alcohol Use

US Department of Veterans Affairs·interventional·Posted Jan 17, 2008·Updated Nov 28, 2014

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) and Health education for Alcohol Dependence and Chronic Hepatitis C. Completed, enrolled 139 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether motivational enhancement therapy (MET) reduces alcohol use in a population of HCV-infected veterans who are currently drinking alcohol and have alcohol disorders. We hypothesize that veterans with HCV, an alcohol use disorder and continued excessive alcohol use who receive MET will have a greater reduction in the number of standard alcohol drinks per week and a greater percentage of days abstinent than veterans who receive health education control intervention.
