This study identified key factors influencing excessive alcohol consumption in heavy drinkers. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) proved effective for tracking drinking patterns and related behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Addiction research
  • Behavioral science
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Excessive alcohol consumption is a significant public health concern.
  • Identifying predictors of heavy drinking is crucial for developing effective interventions.
  • Previous research has explored various factors, but real-time assessment methods are valuable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess predictors of self-reported excessive drinking (> 5 drinks) in a sample of heavy drinkers.
  • To evaluate the utility of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) for monitoring drinking behavior.
  • To compare a moderation training group with a waiting-list control group.

Main Methods:

  • Random assignment to moderation training or a control group.
  • Training in ecological momentary assessment (EMA) using an electronic diary (ED) for self-monitoring.

  • Generalized estimating equations used to analyze predictors of drinking behavior over an 8-week study.

    • Main Results:

    • Robust predictors for both decreased and increased drinking episodes were identified.
    • Participant compliance with EMA via the ED was high for random prompts and episode-specific data entry.
    • Factors related to drinking history, training, restraint, and mood significantly predicted drinking levels.

    Conclusions:

    • Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a valuable methodology for assessing drinking and related behaviors in real-time.
    • Understanding predictors of excessive drinking can inform targeted intervention strategies.
    • The study demonstrates the feasibility and utility of EMA in addiction research.
