About
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether using a web-based intervention is feasible, acceptable, and helpful for people who engage in hazardous alcohol use and want to cut down or quit.
Full description
This pilot study will determine the feasibility and acceptability of a novel online social support intervention (Let's Do Addiction Recovery Together!, abbreviated as LDART) that uses pre-recorded videos created by members of recovery support services to help individuals in early recovery from hazardous alcohol use sustain motivation during recovery and introduce them to freely available recovery support services in the community. The investigators will recruit participants to use the web-based intervention daily for a month; they will also fill in questionnaires about their substance use and engagement with recovery support services at the beginning and end of the study to determine preliminary efficacy.
