What’s the evidence for digital behaviour change interventions for alcohol dependence?

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

What is the effectiveness and safety of digital behaviour change interventions to support non-alcohol dependence, and the maintenance of sobriety?

When compared to traditional face-to-face techniques, digital behaviour change interventions (DBCI) such as mobile applications, websites, and wearables have the potential to be more accessible, reach more people, and enhance engagement. However, the evidence of their usage for alcohol dependence is diverse. This review aims to compare and assess the effectiveness of DBCIs to support and assist the transition process from alcohol dependency to non-alcohol dependence. Our main goal is to identify what type of DCBI would effectively support this transition and process, helping people who are no longer alcohol-dependent to maintain sobriety.
