Study of alcohol effects on people who help others
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how a one-time intoxication (drinking a measured amount of alcohol) may affect a person’s willingness and ability to intervene and help in a bystander situation. It’s mainly about understanding behavior and decision-making, not treatment for alcohol use problems.
