| Scientific title | Control of Violence for Angry and Impulsive Drinkers: a feasibility study for a Randomised Controlled Trial with imprisoned adult males in South Wales |
| Study acronym | COVAID RCT |
| Study objectives | To establish the feasibility of a full scale randomised controlled trial (RCT) for evaluating Control of Violence for Angry and Impulsive Drinkers (COVAID). |
| Ethics approval(s) | UWIC School of Health Science Ethics Committee approved on the 14th September 2009 (ref: 1655) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Alcohol and violence |
| Intervention | Participants will be randomised to one of the following arms: 1. COVAID-GS (group secure): a fully accredited cognitive-behavioural treatment programme that aims to reduce the likelihood of alcohol-related aggression and violence 2. Treatment as usual (TAU) COVAID and TAU participants will receive 10 sessions of COVAID treatment delivered over the period of 4 weeks. Measures will be taken pre- and post-intervention. For TAU the same measures will be taken at the same interval 4 weeks, pre- and post-intervention. Reoffending analysis will be undertaken with this sample for a maximum period of 6 years (in line with participant information sheets), although the likelihood is that no further data will be collected after 24 month reconviction data. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | A full-scale RCT will be considered feasible if: 1. The numbers referred, recruited to the trial, randomised and retained in the trial would support a full-scale RCT 2. At least 90% of participants complete all measures 3. 85% of both prisoners and staff express positive views about COVAID 4. It is possible to calculate the costs of COVAID and TAU Measures will be taken at pre- and post-intervention. |
| Secondary outcome measures | Measures will be taken at pre- and post-intervention: 1. Violent reoffending at 6 months after participants release into the community 2. Treatment Motivation Questionnaire (TMQ) 3. Alcohol Related Aggression Questionnaire (ARAQ) 4. Impulsivity (Eysenck Impulsiveness scale) 5. Anger control (STAXI-2) 6. Controlled drinking self-efficacy (CDSES) 7. Client Service Receipt Inventory (CSRI) |
