“…Furthermore the studies were characterized by the following limitations: 1) outcome measures used were heterogeneous, 2) relatively small sample size at follow-up, 3) large standard deviations with the data appearing to be skewed and log transformed scores were only available in one instance (i.e. Cunningham et al, 2005), 4) lack of controls within the majority of the studies identified, and 5) in some cases, there were large confidence intervals around the effect size. The lack of a control condition also makes it difficult to attribute with confidence any change to the intervention provided -it is possible that any recorded change could have occurred independently of the intervention.…”

“…Although delivery mode does not impact on the effectiveness of feedback interventions, the widespread and growing availability of the internet does present an opportunity for broad dissemination and improved access to interventions (Cunningham et al, 2005;Copeland and Martin, 2004). Nielson//NetRatings global trends data from 2002 show that as many as 79% of Americans, 72% of Australians and 68% of the UK population have access to the internet with access figures continuing to rise (Steyn and Chan, 2003).…”

A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2 AbstractObjective: To review the published literature on the effectiveness of web-based interventions designed to decrease consumption of alcohol and/or prevent alcohol abuse.Method: Relevant articles published up to, and including, May 2006 were identified through electronic searches of Medline, PsycInfo, Embase, Cochrane Library, ASSIA, Web of Science and Science Direct. Reference lists of all articles identified for inclusion were checked for articles of relevance. An article was included if its stated or implied purpose was to evaluate a web-based intervention designed to decrease consumption of alcohol and/or to prevent alcohol abuse. Studies were reliably selected and quality-assessed, and data were independently extracted and interpreted by two authors.Results: Initial searches identified 191 articles of which 10 were eligible for inclusion. Of these, five provided a process evaluation only, with the remaining five providing some pre-to postintervention measure of effectiveness. In general the percentage quality criteria met was relatively low and only one of the 10 articles selected was a randomized control trial. Conclusion:The current review provides inconsistent evidence on the effectiveness of eIectronic screening and brief intervention (eSBI) for alcohol use. Process research suggests that web-based interventions are generally well received. However further controlled trials are needed to fully investigate their efficacy, to determine which elements are key to outcome and to understand if different elements are required in order to engage low and high risk drinkers.Key Words: Alcohol; Brief Interventions; Web-Based; Personalized Feedback; Systematic Review. A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 IntroductionBrief interventions for health problems such as alcohol use disorders have been of growing interest over the last few decades (Moyer et al., 2002). Several reviews have been conducted on the effectiveness of face-to-face brief interventions in health care and treatment settings (Moyer et al., 2002;Bien et al., 1993). Results are consistent, showing that brief interventions are more effective than no counseling (Bien et al., 1993).Personalized feedback is often incorporated into brief interventions and aims to encourage behavior and/or attitude change. Studies suggest that incorporating social norms information into feedback interventions can help decrease alcohol consumption, encouraging participants to beco...

There is moderate-quality evidence that digital interventions may lower alcohol consumption, with an average reduction of up to three (UK) standard drinks per week compared to control participants. Substantial heterogeneity and risk of performance and publication bias may mean the reduction was lower. Low-quality evidence from fewer studies suggested there may be little or no difference in impact on alcohol consumption between digital and face-to-face interventions.The BCTs of behaviour substitution, problem solving and credible source were associated with the effectiveness of digital interventions to reduce alcohol consumption and warrant further investigation in an experimental context.Reporting of theory use was very limited and often unclear when present. Over half of the interventions made no reference to any theories. Limited reporting of theory use was unrelated to heterogeneity in intervention effectiveness.
