In this domain, we will assess the trajectories of loss and regain of control and how triggers and modulating factors interact to predict when individuals with mild to moderate alcohol use disorder will lose or regain control of their consumption. We will identify general, but also age- and gender-specific, mechanisms that contribute to loss and regain of alcohol control by capturing a large cohort of individuals with varying degrees of severity who do not (yet) need detoxification. To do this, we will use ambulatory assessment methods (including ecological momentary assessment) to obtain longitudinal datasets over several months from people with an alcohol use disorder (with and without additional tobacco and cannabis use). This allows us to observe longitudinal trajectories of loss and regain of control over drug use in real life settings.
