Summary

The main aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an Internet-delivered self-help intervention for problem drinkers in the general population.

Adult problem drinkers with home access to the Internet will be recruited from the CAMH Monitor. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive a website address where they can obtain personalized feedback about their drinking, or to a no intervention control group.

Three-month and six-month follow-up surveys will be conducted by mail to assess drinking over the following three month periods. Collaterals will be requested and interviewed after the six-month follow-up. Subjects will be paid $40.00 and collaterals will be paid $20.00 for their participation. Drinking at three- and six-months will be compared between the groups. Subjects in the control group will be provided with the website address following the six-month follow-up.
