Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The Obsessive Compulsive Drinking Scale (OCDS) measures cravings over the past seven days. It includes 14 items that are rated on a 5-point Likert scale by the patient. Two subscale scores can be calculated (obsessions and compulsions). The OCDS provides an indication of the severity of an AUD. The difference in OCDS total score from T1 to T3 serves as the primary outcome parameter. The OCDS was completed at three outcome time points: Baseline, post-assessment (4 weeks after baseline) and follow-up (6 months). | — |
