About this trial

This study will evaluate the relationship between alcohol use, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and behavioral economic decision-making. Participants will complete surveys over approximately 12 weeks and will be randomly assigned to receive access to a self-guide computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT) program either immediately or after a waiting period. The study will compare participants with and without recent suicidal thoughts and behaviors to better understand factors associated with alcohol use and engagement with treatment.
