Supplemental Intervention for Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment Patients With a Co-Occurring Anxiety Disorder: Technical Development and Functional Testing of an Autonomous Digital Program

Functional testing results in this study justify a randomized controlled trial of the digital intervention's efficacy, which is currently ongoing. In sharing the details of our challenges and solutions in developing the digital intervention, we hope to inform others developing digital tools. The extent to which the availability of empirically validated, fully autonomous digital interventions achieves their potential to reduce the research-to-practice gap remains an open but important empirical question. The present work stands as a necessary first step toward that end.
