Registered outcomes8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Adoption: percentage of participants who agree to use VR when offered in counseling | During the intervention session (at Baseline) | Adoption of VR will be assessed by calculating the percentage of participants assigned to the VR condition who agree to use VR when offered by a counselor during a counseling session. |
| Primary | Tolerability: percentage of participants who discontinue VR after starting | During the intervention session (at Baseline) | Tolerability will be assessed by calculating the percentage of participants assigned to the VR condition who discontinue using VR after starting to use it. |
| Primary | Feasibility: total score on the Feasibility of Intervention Measure | Immediately following the intervention session (at Baseline) | Feasibility of using VR within brief alcohol counseling sessions will be assessed using the Feasibility of Intervention Measure, a 4-item measure that assesses items such as "Using VR in counseling sessions seems doable." Each item is assessed on a 5-point scale from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). Each participant's total score on the FIM will serve as the primary outcome and will be compared across groups. |
| Primary | Acceptability: total score on the Acceptability of Intervention Measure | Immediately following the intervention session (at Baseline) | Acceptability of using VR within brief alcohol counseling sessions will be assessed using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), a 4-item measure that assesses items such as "Using VR in counseling sessions is appealing to me." Each item is assessed on a 5-point scale from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree). Each participant's total score on the AIM will serve as the primary outcome and will be compared across groups. |
| Primary | Satisfaction: total score on the Client Satisfaction Scale 8 (CSQ-8) | Immediately following the intervention session (at Baseline) | Satisfaction with counseling will be assessed using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), an 8-item measure that assesses items such as "How would you rate the quality of service you have received?" Each item is rated on a 4-point scale, but the response options vary by item (e.g., item 1 ranges from 1 \[poor\] to 4 \[excellent\]). Each participant's total score on the CSQ-8 will serve as the primary outcome and will be compared across groups. |
| Secondary | Average drinks per drinking day: The average number of drinks consumed per drinking day over the previous 28 days, as assessed by online Timeline Followback (TLFB) assessment | Baseline, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months | An online version of the Timeline Followback will assess drinking days and the number of standard drinks consumed each day over the previous 28 days at baseline, and months 1, 2, 3, and 6 after baseline. At each follow-up, the average number of drinks participants consumed on occasions when they drank will be calculated and compared across groups. |
| Secondary | Heavy episodic drinking days: Total number of days on which participants reported drinking 4+ drinks (for women) or 5+ drinks (for men) over the previous 28 days, as assessed by online Timeline Followback (TLFB) assessment | Baseline, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months | An online version of the Timeline Followback will assess drinking days and the number of standard drinks consumed each day over the previous 28 days at baseline, and months 1, 2, 3, and 6 after baseline. At each follow-up, we will calculate the total number of days on which participants reported drinking 4+ drinks (for women) or 5+ drinks (for men) on a single day and compare them across groups. |
| Secondary | Alcohol-related problems: Total number of alcohol-related problems in the past 28 days as assessed by the Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (BYAACQ) | Baseline, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months | Alcohol-related consequences will be assessed using the Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (B-YAACQ), a 24-item measure that assesses items such as "I have had a hangover (headache, sick stomach) the morning after I had been drinking." Each item is assessed as 0 (no) or 1 (yes). Each participant's total count of problems reported will be compared across groups. |
