Is internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for alcohol use disorder equally effective for men and women? Implications of a secondary analysis of a clinical trial
Our findings suggest that the apparent sex-difference in treatment response was confounded by intercept-slope correlation - i.e. since men on average drank more at baseline, this offered larger room for decreasing. When conducting studies on internet interventions for addictive disorders, it is crucial to consider which outcomes to use, and how these are operationalized.
