The study did not involve any interventions.\n\nAim The aim of this study is to examine the effect of comorbid alcohol and substance use on clinical course parameters-such as number of hospitalizations and medication dosages-and on social inclusion indicators-such as employment, social participation, and social adjustment-among individuals with severe mental illness followed at the CMHC, in comparison with a matched control group without substance use.\n\nResearch Questions\n\nWhat are the rates of comorbid alcohol and substance use among patients with severe mental illness followed at the CMHC? What are the current addiction symptoms, number of hospitalizations, and employment rates among individuals with severe mental illness and comorbid ASUD? What is the level of continuity of CMHC engagement and social participation among individuals with severe mental illness and comorbid ASUD, and what factors influence it? How does the level of social inclusion among individuals with severe mental illness and comorbid ASUD compare with that of individuals without ASUD?\n\nHypotheses\n\nH1: The average annual number of hospitalizations among individuals with a dual diagnosis (severe mental illness + ASUD) followed at the CMHC is significantly higher than among those without substance use.\n\nH2: Among individuals with a dual diagnosis, the daily medication doses (e.g., chlorpromazine equivalents) required to control psychotic or manic symptoms are higher than in the control group.\n\nH3: Social inclusion is lower among patients with substance use compared with the control group.\n\nH4: Employment rates among individuals with a dual diagnosis are significantly lower than among those with severe mental illness alone.\n\nH5: Substance use negatively affects patients' social participation, including involvement in activities and friendships.\n\nH6: Attendance rates at CMHC workshops and rehabilitation programs are lower among individuals with substance use compared with the control group.",[25,26,27,28,29,30,31],"Alcohol Abuse","Alcohol Use Disorder","Substance Use Disorders","Severe Mental Disorder","Schizophrenia","Bipolar Disorder","Ostracism",[33,27,28,34],"alcohol use disorder","ostracism","RECRUITING","2026-07-10",{"date":38,"type":39},"2026-07-13","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":39},"2026-06-20",{"date":43,"type":21},"2026-12-30",{"name":45,"class":46},"Abant Izzet Baysal University","OTHER",1,{"id":49,"slug":50,"hasResults":11,"nctId":51,"briefTitle":52,"officialTitle":53,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":54,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":55,"enrollmentInfo":56,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":58,"phases":59,"briefSummary":61,"conditions":62,"keywords":67,"overallStatus":35,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":75,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":76,"startDateStruct":78,"completionDateStruct":80,"leadSponsor":82,"locationsCount":84},"100609614","safety-and-effectiveness-of-the-brainsway-deep-transcranial-magnetic-stimulation-deep-tms-for-treatment-of-alcohol-use-disorder-aud-100609614","NCT07216872","Safety and Effectiveness of the BrainsWay Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)","A Prospective, Double Blind, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the BrainsWay Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) for Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Their modifiable risk factors, including poor diet, physical inactivity, irregular sleep, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption, often emerge during adolescence and persist into adulthood. Early educational interventions can promote healthy habits and reduce their prevalence. Team-Based Learning (TBL), an active teaching method, has demonstrated effectiveness in improving knowledge and behaviors essential for a healthy lifestyle. Objective: evaluate whether a TBL-based educational intervention can improve adolescents' knowledge and habits related to chronic disease risk factors. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) will be conducted in public schools in Palmares, Brazil, targeting high school students aged 15-19 years. Fourteen schools will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention, consisting of four TBL modules, will cover healthy eating, physical activity, screen time, sleep, tobacco, and alcohol use, delivered by graduate nursing students under faculty supervision. Data collection will take place at three time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and three months later. The control group will continue receiving standard health education. Primary outcomes will assess behavioral changes, while secondary outcomes will analyze body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure. Analysis: Data will be analyzed using SPSS, with descriptive statistics, paired and unpaired t-tests, ANOVA, and chi-square tests. The analysis will account for clustering and be conducted using intention-to-treat analysis. Statistical significance will be set at p\\\u003C0.05.
