Brief Summary:
Unhealthy alcohol consumption is common in the UK and causes tremendous harm to the individual as well as harm to others A significant gap in providing alcohol support is that most people with unhealthy alcohol consumption will never receive advice to cut down on their drinking However many are interested in self-directed interventions to help them evaluate their drinking and to motivate reductions in alcohol use One such promising intervention uses online personalised normative feedback PNF which compares a persons drinking with others in the general population of the same age and sex PNF interventions are thought to work because many people with unhealthy alcohol consumption overestimate how much others drink Multiple trials have demonstrated that providing PNF to people with unhealthy consumption reduces their alcohol use While several UK websites do provide feedback on assessment of risk eg Down Your Drink introductory section Alcohol Change UK there appears to be no online intervention that provides PNF for unhealthy alcohol consumption
The major objective of this pilot project is to conduct a two-arm parallel group randomised controlled trial RCT in which 1318 participants recruited from the Prolific website who have identified themselves as drinking 14 or more units per week are randomly assigned to one of two groups - a those who are offered a PNF report and b those in a no intervention comparator group Participants in the comparator group will not be provided any intervention materials but will instead be given a list of the different components of the PNF feedback and will be asked to think about how useful they would find each of them Follow-up assessment will occur at 1 and 6 months post-randomisation The project is described as a pilot because it is a preliminary evaluation of the PNF intervention in a UK context
