“…The script for the pre-recorded responses was developed by a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) and was designed to be non-confrontational and empathic and emphasized the autonomy of the participant in regard to decisions about any necessary behavior changes. Participant ratings in earlier trials confirmed that this is how participants perceived the intervention (Leffingwell et al, 2007; Wagener et al, 2012). …”

“…Research that has directly compared FOIs to in-person BMIs has also been mixed. Some studies have found FOIs to be as effective as in-person interventions (e.g., Butler & Correia, 2009; Murphy et al, 2004; Juarez, Walters, & Daugherty, 2006), whereas others found superior effects for in-person interventions (Carey, Henson, Carey, & Maisto, 2009; Murphy et al, 2010; Wagener et al, 2012; Walters et al, 2009). This variability in findings regarding the effects of FOIs may be due to a limitation of the intervention format.…”

“…There has been one unpublished trial (Leffingwell et al, 2007) and one published trial (Wagener et al, 2012) of the DrAFT-CS program. Leffingwell and colleagues (2007) found DrAFT-CS to produce significantly greater reductions in alcohol outcomes than assessment only control.…”

Research on the efficacy of computer-delivered feedback-only interventions (FOIs) for college alcohol misuse has been mixed. Limitations to these FOIs include participant engagement and variation in the use of a moderation skills component. The current investigation sought to address these limitations using a novel computer-delivered FOI, the Drinkers Assessment and Feedback Tool for College Students (DrAFT-CS). Heavy drinking college students (N = 176) were randomly assigned to DrAFT-CS, DrAFT-CS plus moderation skills (DrAFT-CS+), moderation skills only (MSO), or assessment only (AO) group, and were assessed at 1-month follow-up (N = 157). Participants in the DrAFT-CS and DrAFT-CS + groups reported significantly lower estimated blood alcohol concentrations (eBACs) on typical heaviest drinking day than participants in the AO group. The data also supported the incorporation of a moderation skills component within FOIs, such that participants in DrAFT-CS + group reported significantly fewer drinks per week and drinks per heaviest drinking occasion than participants in the AO group.

“…There was some variation in the dose of the intervention with the reported time taken to complete the intervention ranging from less than 5 minutes [34] to 45 minutes [37]. The dose of exposure to the intervention could also be increased through repeated access during the study period [24] and/or a printed copy of the personalized feedback provided [26,31,36,38,40,43]. The attrition rate was highly variable between studies, ranging from 1% or 2% (eg, Hester et al [30]) up to more than 50% [42]…”

BackgroundElectronic screening and brief intervention (eSBI) has been shown to reduce alcohol consumption, but its effectiveness over time has not been subject to meta-analysis.ObjectiveThe current study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature to determine the effectiveness of eSBI over time in nontreatment-seeking hazardous/harmful drinkers.MethodsA systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant studies identified through searching the electronic databases PsychINFO, Medline, and EMBASE in May 2013. Two members of the study team independently screened studies for inclusion criteria and extracted data. Studies reporting data that could be transformed into grams of ethanol per week were included in the meta-analysis. The mean difference in grams of ethanol per week between eSBI and control groups was weighted using the random-effects method based on the inverse-variance approach to control for differences in sample size between studies.ResultsThere was a statistically significant mean difference in grams of ethanol consumed per week between those receiving an eSBI versus controls at up to 3 months (mean difference –32.74, 95% CI –56.80 to –8.68, z=2.67, P=.01), 3 to less than 6 months (mean difference –17.33, 95% CI –31.82 to –2.84, z=2.34, P=.02), and from 6 months to less than 12 months follow-up (mean difference –14.91, 95% CI –25.56 to –4.26, z=2.74, P=.01). No statistically significant difference was found at a follow-up period of 12 months or greater (mean difference –7.46, 95% CI –25.34 to 10.43, z=0.82, P=.41).ConclusionsA significant reduction in weekly alcohol consumption between intervention and control conditions was demonstrated between 3 months and less than 12 months follow-up indicating eSBI is an effective intervention.

“…Two papers used the same sample (Suffoletto et al, 2014;Voogt et al, 2013a) as other papers included within this review, thus were removed. Studies utilising a mixed methodology (Moore et al, 2013), human involvement in the intervention (Wagener et al, 2012) or targeting specific sub-populations, ranging from athletes to mandated college students (Reid et al, 2015) were also excluded. Consequently, 13 papers were reviewed in this study, consisting of 11 studies.…”

As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Out of 3298 relevant citations, 13 papers consisting of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria.Effectiveness of intervention delivery was assessed using behavioural outcomes. Eight papers delivered interventions using the Web, three implemented text messaging, one used a mobile phone app and the remaining paper used a social networking site.The ability to provide personalized electronic feedback resulted in a reduction in alcohol consumption, frequency of binge drinking, and drinking in a non-risky way. However, intervention length did not appear to have an impact on overall effectiveness.Usage of text messaging and Social Network Sites (SNS) increased accessibility and ease of engaging in an intervention that is appealing and acceptable for young adults.
