Effectiveness of Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) Supplemented With Mobile for Preventing Alcohol Use Disorders

Summary

The study is aimed to find out that combining Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) with a Smart Mobile is better than Nurse-Conducted Brief Intervention (NCBI) only in preventing relapse among Alcohol Use Disorder patients. The high relapse rates among alcohol disorder patients may be benefitted by new technology using application for improved outcomes in managing and preventing alcohol addiction relapse.
