Data for: Pilot randomized control trial (RCT) of a psychological intervention for alcohol misuse and mental health comorbidities (PM+A) in conflict-affected populations in Uganda (CHANGE)

The CHANGE pilot trial in Uganda assessed the feasibility and safety of implementing the PM+A intervention among male South Sudanese refugees living in Northern Uganda, and tested and refined procedures for recruitment and data collection prior to assessing effectiveness in a definitive Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT). This dataset includes information collected from 94 men living in northern Uganda, including data on screened participants (N=94) and baseline (N=66) and follow-up data (N=60) for participants included in the study.

Follow-up data were collected 3 months post-baseline assessment. Variables collected include socio-demographics measures, alcohol use using the timeline follow back, AUDIT, and ASSIST tools; mental health using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Hopkins Symptoms Checklist, and Kessler-10 tools; functional disability using the World Health Organization (WHO) Disability Assessment Schedule; and WHO measure of perpetration of sexual violence.
