LDART
LDART is a newly developed web-based social support intervention that can be accessed by smartphone or computer. Each night, the participant sets a recovery goal for the next day (e.g., drink less than usual, go to a support group meeting). The next night, they log on to LDART to indicate whether they reached their goal for the day. Depending on their response, they will be shown either a celebratory or encouraging message from someone in the addiction recovery community, along with specific information on that person's recovery organization.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Post-intervention (Day 28)Population: Of the 25 participants who completed the intervention, 3 did not complete the acceptability ratings, and 1 participant skipped this question.
Acceptability is measured with a 9-item self-report acceptability assessment questionnaire. This comprises questions regarding the motivational and supportive properties of the content, perceptions on the frequency of engaging with the intervention, and whether they enjoyed using the intervention. Each question is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, where higher values indicate greater acceptability. There will also be two open-ended questions for participants to indicate what they liked and did not like about the intervention and ways to improve it. Data reported here reflects percentage of participants who answered "agree" or "strongly agree" to the question: "I would recommend LDART to someone trying to cut down or quit drinking".

Timeline Follow Back is a validated, self-reported instrument that provides specific dates for alcohol use in the past 28 days, and the number of standard drinks consumed on each drinking day. Percent Drinking Days Per Month is calculated as the percentage of days in the 28-day window in which one or more standard drinks is consumed for two consecutive windows.

World Health Organization Quality of Life - Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) is a questionnaire with 24 items that correspond to four domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. Each question is rated on a five-point Likert scale. Each domain score is transformed based on the lowest possible score to create a modified range of 0-100 for each domain. All four domain scores are then averaged to create a single score on a range of 0-100, where higher values indicate higher quality of life.
