Study Summary
A wide gap exists between the number of people needing alcohol treatment and those actually receiving it. This study builds on a previous one that indicated that smartphone-based intervention can help increase the number of people who receive alcohol intervention services and decrease treatment barriers. Improvements to the previously developed app, Step Away, will be made. In addition, a new method of delivering the Step Away intervention via an online, interactive chatbot, will be developed with the goal of improving engagement and effectiveness. Participants will be recruited and outcomes between the two interventions examined to determine if the Step Away chatbot has enhanced user engagement, intervention fidelity and outcome efficacy in comparison to the Step Away app amongst a group of problem drinkers. Participants will also be interviewed to determine their perceptions of both interventions with a view towards understanding barriers to user engagement.
