What this study is
The goal of this project is to transform a successful, face-to-face harm-reduction treatment (HaRT-A) into a digital format, creating eHaRT-A. This new platform is specifically designed for people who have experienced homelessness and an alcohol use disorder (AUD), living within the framework of permanent, supportive, Housing First (HF) facilities. We hypothesize eHaRT-A will be more effective than the standard HF services in reducing alcohol-related harm and improving the overall quality of life for participants.

Intervention · BEHAVIORAL
Adaptation of the Harm Reduction Treatment for Alcohol (HaRT-A) into a digital telehealth platform facilitating harm reduction treatment via patient-provider video sessions (eHaRT-A). eHaRT-A will include the three treatment components from the efficacious HaRT-A. eHaRT-A will be delivered during one-on-one sessions through video conferencing with interactive features (i.e., personalized feedback tracked over time and screen sharing).
