Alcohol use study for adults who join the NIAAA screening
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a brain-and-behavior “assessment” (neuroclinical testing) to better understand addiction. You may be tested only if you are an adult and are enrolled in the NIAAA screening program, and you cannot join if you are acutely intoxicated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be over 18 years old
- Have enrolled in the NIAAA Screening Protocol (14-AA-0181)
- Be able to attend testing when not acutely intoxicated (breath alcohol test may be done)
- Be able to follow directions and cooperate during the study
- Be able to use a computer mouse and keyboard during testing
- Be able to give informed consent yourself (not unable to consent)

This trial tests how the medication acamprosate affects brain activity in people with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder. It may help researchers understand how this treatment works.
This study follows people over time to understand how alcohol use develops and changes. It may help researchers learn what factors are linked to changes in drinking, and it involves genetic testing and an MRI scan.
This study screens people with or without past or current substance or alcohol use problems. It helps the researchers see if you might qualify for other studies at the NIDA research center.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called PDE4B in people with alcohol use disorder. The goal is to better understand how alcohol affects the brain, which may lead to new treatments.
This study helps create and test simple tasks that measure brain function and movement in people with different backgrounds. It may help researchers better understand how the brain and body work, which can improve future alcohol-related treatments.
This study compares how people with alcohol use disorder and people without it experience taste and smell. It also checks brain activity during taste/smell testing to understand individual differences that may be linked to alcohol use.
