Summary

Smartphone apps targeting alcohol consumption are increasingly employed as a means to help people reduce their alcohol consumption. Recognizing this potential, there has been an explosion of app development for unhealthy alcohol use, as well as other health-related behaviours. This study will recruit people who consume alcohol in an unhealthy manner. Participants will be assigned by chance to one of two groups and will be contacted 6 months after consenting to the study to assess changes in their drinking. In addition, this study will help us understand which components of the smartphone app are important to use in order to promote reductions in alcohol consumption. An app with proven efficacy, made widely available and free-of-charge to Canadians, will provide a much needed option to help those in need to reduce their alcohol use.
