Table 2 Feasibility outcomes and secondary (incentive conflict task; ICT) outcomes; 1 due to technical problems only three participants completed ICT after baseline at 3 months and three at 12 months, thus only baseline measurements are presented for ICT

From: A feasibility trial of an intervention in alcohol dependence for structured preparation before detoxification versus usual care: the SPADe trial results
