The Anchor Study: Digitally Delivered Intervention for Reducing Problematic Substance Use
This study aims to validate W-SUDs as a digitally-delivered substance use disorder program through a fully-powered randomized control trial that will test the comparative efficacy of the mobile-app based substance use disorder program (W-SUDs) to reduce substance use relative to a psychoeducation control condition, which has no cognitive behavioral therapy and the content is not delivered through a conversational user interface.
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
