Trial Outcomes

Alcohol Craving in Response to the Alcohol Cue Script

Alcohol craving was measured using the Alcohol Urges Questionnaire (AUQ). The AUQ is an 8-item self-administered instrument that assesses craving for alcohol among alcohol users in the current context (i.e., right now). The score ranges from 8 (lowest craving value) to 56 (highest craving value). (NCT01631630)
Timeframe: 15 minutes after the beginning of script presentation, which occurred on Day 21, 22, or 23 of the treatment period
