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

The majority of these apps were excluded because they were for-profit (ie, had in-app purchases), were not m Health apps (eg, alcohol-purchasing apps), or were explicitly harmful (ie, alcohol-drinking game apps). The remaining apps were excluded because they were of single purpose (eg, blood alcohol concentration calculators), or were not in English.

Using a Sober Curious Framework to Explore Barriers and Facilitators to Helping Sexual Minority Women Reduce Alcohol-Related Harms: Protocol for a Descriptive Study

Using a Sober Curious Framework to Explore Barriers and Facilitators to Helping Sexual Minority Women Reduce Alcohol-Related Harms: Protocol for a Descriptive Study

Understanding the drinking norms and drinking behaviors of sexual minority women is essential to informing the development of effective interventions to reduce heavy drinking and alcohol-related harms. In the general population, women are less likely than men to seek help related to their drinking [34-36]. Women who drink heavily report experiencing gendered stigma that negatively impacts their desire or ability to access mainstream alcohol treatment services and their experiences when help is sought.

A Web-Based Resource Informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology to Address Stress, Negative Affect, and Problematic Alcohol Use: A Usability and Descriptive Study

A Web-Based Resource Informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology to Address Stress, Negative Affect, and Problematic Alcohol Use: A Usability and Descriptive Study

The self-medication model suggests some individuals drink to cope (DTC) with stress due to the belief that drinking will alleviate stress and negative affect [2,3]. However, although alcohol may provide temporary relief from emotional discomfort, in the long-term, drinking to cope with stress exacerbates negative affect and puts individuals at risk for alcohol-related consequences [4].

Smartphone-Based Intervention Targeting Norms and Risk Perception Among University Students with Unhealthy Alcohol Use: Secondary Mediation Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Once the module is activated, the user is invited to report on their drinking daily. The drinking pattern is then presented to the user on a graph, with indications of the recommended drinking limits. Fourth, a goal-setting tool. This module allows the user to set their drinking limits for 1, 2, 7, or 30 days. Users are then invited to report their drinking daily. They receive a badge when they drink at or below their self-determined drinking limits. Fifth, a designated driver tool.

Examining Caregiver Practices During Adolescent Outpatient Alcohol Use and Co-Occurring Mental Health Treatment: Protocol for a Dyadic Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

Examining Caregiver Practices During Adolescent Outpatient Alcohol Use and Co-Occurring Mental Health Treatment: Protocol for a Dyadic Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

Hypothesis 1 is that momentary caregiver reports of caregiver support, caregiver monitoring, substance use communication quality, and alcohol-specific caregiving practices will be positively associated with adolescent reports of motivation to reduce or stop drinking and positive affect and negatively associated with alcohol craving, alcohol use, and internalizing and externalizing symptoms.

Interest in the Use of Herbal Supplements to Close the Treatment Gap for Hazardous Alcohol Use Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: Secondary Analysis of a Cross-Sectional Study

Interest in the Use of Herbal Supplements to Close the Treatment Gap for Hazardous Alcohol Use Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: Secondary Analysis of a Cross-Sectional Study

The prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption, which includes binge drinking (5 or more standard drinks for men in 1 occasion), is high among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States. Binge drinking approached 51% among MSM in the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health [1]. This pattern of alcohol use poses significant public health and economic burdens, with associated costs of more than US $250 billion in 2010 alone [2].

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Alcohol Marketing Exposure, Alcohol Use, and Purchases Among University Students: Prospective Cohort Study

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Alcohol Marketing Exposure, Alcohol Use, and Purchases Among University Students: Prospective Cohort Study

The relationship between alcohol marketing and drinking behaviors has been extensively studied, particularly in Western countries. Alcohol marketing influences drinking behaviors through short-term effects [5], where repeated exposure increases familiarity and leads to more consumption and purchases, and long-term effects, where marketing normalizes alcohol use by increasing perceived social approval and emphasizing positive consequences [6].

Parental Patterns of Alcohol Consumption During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Scoping Review

Parental Patterns of Alcohol Consumption During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Scoping Review

Mothers reported drinking less frequently but drinking more in volume when they did drink. May 2020 United States Cross-sectional survey N=832; 45.1% (n=375) had children aged Respondents were asked about drinking frequency, binge drinking, patterns of drinking, and factors related to drinking in the past 30 days. Those with children at home consumed alcohol on a greater number of days than those without children (13.0 days vs 11.6 days; P=.054).

Reducing Alcohol Misuse and Promoting Treatment Initiation Among Veterans Through a Brief Internet-Based Intervention: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Reducing Alcohol Misuse and Promoting Treatment Initiation Among Veterans Through a Brief Internet-Based Intervention: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Thus, there is room for PNF interventions to expand beyond short-term effects on drinking and be used as a vehicle to connect those who have never received an intervention before with more intensive services. For veterans engaging in heavier problem drinking, sustained changes in drinking may be better obtained through in-person individual or group interventions, as opposed to a one-time brief intervention.

Finally, Teeters et al [15] tested a mobile phone–based intervention with personalized SMS text messages to determine its impact on driving after drinking. Participants included 84 college students who endorsed driving after drinking ≥3 drinks at least twice in the past 3 months.
