Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Excessive alcohol use is associated with a range of serious and costly health, social, and economic consequences at the individual and societal level. This program of research serves as a venue by which to produce and test an innovative, science-based, and cost-effective means to intervene in a private, convenient, and individualized way with employed adults who report non-dependent levels of risky drinking. Responsible Drinking offers computer-tailored intervention sessions directed at increasing readiness to limit drinking to national guidelines for low-risk drinking and a complementary dynamic web portal providing additional information, activities, and strategies designed to activate and reinforce the change process. The primary objective is to complete and enhance the development of Responsible Drinking and test it in an effectiveness trial. In Phase II the program capabilities and innovation will expand to integrate the e-Health components (CTI and e-Workbook) with m-Health (mobile health) technologies. The e-Health components will be enhanced to offer a more interactive and engaging user experience. In addition, m-Health technologies (text messaging and mobile device browsing optimization) will be integrated to support engagement in the program and flexible delivery options. 996 employed adults will be recruited to participate in the randomized trial. The treatment group will receive three intervention sessions during the course of six months and group differences on a number of outcomes will be evaluated at 12 and 18 month follow-up assessments.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment Group

The treatment group will receive three interactive Computer Tailored Intervention (CTI) sessions during the course of six months, which will include tailored feedback based on the user's responses, and two assessment only follow-up sessions at twelve and eighteen months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Treatment Group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Responsible Drinking intervention sessions include an internet-based, computer-tailored intervention (CTI) grounded in the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM). The intervention includes stage-matched and tailored feedback on alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, and theoretically identified behavior change strategies, as well as access to a web-based portal with stage-matched interactive activities to reinforce and promote stage progression. Finally, the intervention will include 7 months of stage-matched behavior change SMS messages.

Control Group

The control group will receive four assessment only sessions during 18 months.
