Examining Alcohol Consumption, Perceptions, and User Experience of Alcohol Moderation Strategies
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Alcohol Moderation Mobile Application and Alcohol Moderation Drink Tracker for Alcohol Abuse and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary aims of the study are to assess the user experience and initial efficacy of a mobile application designed to reduce problematic alcohol use. The application utilizes drinking limits, defined by the user, to pace alcohol consumption during drinking occasions. The mobile application will be compared to strategies for tracking drinking detailed within the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Alcohol Moderation Strategies (https://www.rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov/thinking-about-a-change/strategies-for-cutting-down/tips-to-try.aspx). Primary outcome variables, in addition to variables assessing user design experience of the application and use of moderation strategies, include (1) negative consequences of alcohol use during a 14 day observation period, and (2) number of drinks consumed per drinking day during a 14 day observation period.
