Scientific title
Integrated psychological therapy for people with bipolar disorder (BD) and co-morbid alcohol use: a feasibility randomised trial
Acronym
Study hypothesis
This study is part of the NIHR funded PARADES programme (Psychoeducation Anxiety Relapse Advance Directives Evaluation & Suicidality). The PARADES programme runs over 5 years in collaboration with Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust, Nottingham and Manchester Universities and aims to investigate bipolar disorder and its associated problems and comorbidities. The programme consists of 5 separate studies running in parallel, of which this project is one. This study is the final phase of a treatment development study which aims to evaluate the potential benefits of a time limited psychological intervention for alcohol use in bipolar disorder. The intervention was developed in earlier work by the group including phase 1 (an investigation of the reasons for substance use in bipolar individuals; phase 2 (focus group sessions with service users and mental health professionals to develop and finalise the intervention) and a pilot study of the MICBT intervention with 5 service users (Jones et al in press).
