Personalizing Treatment Delivery for Anxiety/Anxiety-related Alcohol Co-occurrence

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or trauma? Looking to make a change in your drinking habits? Rutgers is here to help!

If you’re looking for support in managing anxiety, stress, or trauma, and want to explore healthier habits around drinking, we invite you to participate in this screening survey being distributed as part of a new clinical trial led by researchers at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

This research tests a personalized, cognitive-behavioral approach designed to improve your well-being. You’ll learn practical skills to help reduce anxiety, stress, or trauma while also learning strategies to support healthy drinking habits and goals around drinking.

What to Expect – If you’re eligible for this research, you’ll be asked to:

Use your smartphone to complete brief surveys on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors for up to 14 weeks.
Attend one orientation session held via Zoom
Attend approximately two assessment sessions receiving $30 for each session. Receive approximately 11 counseling sessions at no cost to you provided by a team of mental health providers. Sessions are held via Zoom or in person at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, NJ.
