Identifying Adaptations to an mHealth Alcohol Reduction Intervention for Reducing Alcohol Use in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors: Qualitative Study

Throughout the intervention period, participants completed twice-daily self-monitoring of alcohol use via mobile surveys and a BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer, which uses law enforcement-grade sensors to determine breath alcohol concentration (Br AC). The study interventionist discussed the previous weeks’ alcohol use as reported via these self-monitoring tasks during weekly intervention sessions. Original Tracking and Reducing Alcohol Consumption intervention (preinterviews).

Exploring Ways to Reduce Heavy Drinking by Increasing Hope Among Midlife Women in Australia: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Alcohol consumption remains a major societal problem in Australia, contributing to myriad health conditions and costing an estimated AUD $66 billion (Aus $1=US $1.53) a year (only AUD $6.5 billion is recouped in alcohol tax revenue) [1]). The National Alcohol Strategy 2019 to 2028 aims for a 10% reduction in population-level alcohol consumption [1].

A Customized Neural Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Target for Functional Disability Among Veterans With Co-Occurring Alcohol Use Disorder and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as impaired control over alcohol use characterized by the following symptoms: tolerance, withdrawal, relapse, craving, and impairments in social and occupational functioning [1]. Alcohol-related characteristics (ARCs) are defined for this study per these symptoms as well as AUD-specific outcomes that include but are not limited to alcohol craving, alcohol use, and AUD duration.

The Necessity of Regulating Drinking Scenes on Social Media Platforms Focusing on YouTube Sulbang Videos: Public Opinion From Surveys and YouTube Content Analysis

Alcohol is a beverage made from ethanol and is one of the most widely used psychoactive substances worldwide. The World Health Organization classifies alcohol as a psychoactive substance due to its ability to alter brain function by affecting cognition, behavior, and consciousness [1]. This classification highlights the potential risks associated with alcohol consumption and underscores the need for public health intervention [2].

A Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy–Based Digital Intervention for Reducing Hazardous Alcohol Use in South Korea: Development and Prospective Pilot Study

Alcohol is the most widely used psychoactive substance worldwide and poses a significant public health problem with a massive socioeconomic burden [1,2]. It is a leading cause of death and disability globally, contributing to a wide range of acute and chronic medical conditions. Acute medical consequences of high alcohol intake include injuries, car accidents, and violence [3]. Chronic diseases associated with alcohol consumption include liver cirrhosis, cardiovascular diseases, and various cancers [4-8].

Preferences for Mobile Apps That Aim to Modify Alcohol Use: Thematic Content Analysis of User Reviews

The authors searched in the Google Play and Apple App Stores for m Health apps focused on alcohol. Given the high degree of comorbidity of AUD with other mental health diagnoses, and the stigma associated with AUD specifically, app search terms were extended beyond alcohol alone. Five search terms were used in Google Play and the Apple App Stores: “alcohol,” “alcohol and depression,” “alcohol and anxiety,” “alcohol and PTSD,” and “alcohol and ADHD.”

Use of Wearable Transdermal Alcohol Sensors for Monitoring Alcohol Consumption After Detoxification With Contingency Management: Pilot Randomized Feasibility Trial

Use of Wearable Transdermal Alcohol Sensors for Monitoring Alcohol Consumption After Detoxification With Contingency Management: Pilot Randomized Feasibility Trial

Various wearable transdermal alcohol sensor (TAS) devices have been developed. These devices measure alcohol consumption from alcohol vapors in the skin via sweat, known as transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC), and can record at automated regular intervals. One potential use of TASs is as a tool for objective alcohol measurement in clinical alcohol treatment.
