Summary

This trial tests if using a web-based program can help people who drink too much alcohol cut down or quit.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 who've had a heavy drinking day in the past month and want to reduce or stop their alcohol use. They must have internet access via smartphone or computer, and score ≥8 on the AUDIT, indicating hazardous alcohol use.
What is being tested?
The study is testing LDART, a web-based intervention designed to support individuals with hazardous alcohol use in their recovery efforts. It aims to assess if this online tool is practical, acceptable, and beneficial for those looking to cut down or quit drinking.
What are the potential side effects?
Since LDART is a behavioral intervention rather than a medication, it may not have traditional side effects. However, participants might experience emotional discomfort while discussing their addiction issues during the program.
