There was a high degree of patient adherence to the protocol. Both groups did well, with a significant fall in alcohol outcome measures including number of drinks per drinking day, and number of drinking days, and an increase in abstinence rates in both groups to an equivalent level. The CBT group attended alcoholics anonymous groups more frequently, and had significant alterations in their alcohol self-efficacy outcomes, which correlated with their drinking outcomes. We concluded that computerised CBT is a potentially useful clinical tool that warrants further investigation in different treatment settings for AUD.
