The aim of the present study is to test the feasibility of therapist-guided Internet treatment for hazardous (risky) and harmful alcohol use among adults 18 years and older. The hypothesis is that the intervention is feasible and that it can help people change risky drinking habits at an early stage before developing into problems that are more serious.The therapist-guided Internet treatment addresses the person's need for confidentiality and contributes to reducing the stigma associated with visiting a substance abuse clinic.

Other | Qualitative interviews | Qualitative interviews will investigate participants' expectations and experience of the intervention, focusing on both the technical solutions related to the intervention and the importance of therapist support. | Qualitative interviews will be conducted at the end of treatment, immediately after 8-12 weeks completed treatment | |
Primary | The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) | AUDIT is a screening instrument consisting of 10 questions designed to identify hazardous (risky) and harmful use of alcohol in adults. Based on the 10 questions, a score is calculated indicating whether the person is at risk for developing more serious alcohol problems. A cut-off score of > 6 points indicates risky use in women, and a cut-off score of > 8 points indicates risky use in men. | AUDIT will measure whether there is a change in alcohol intake during the treatment period (8-12 weeks) and at follow-up (6 months after the end of treatment). | |
Primary | The Timeline Followback (TLFB) for alcohol | TLFB for alcohol is an assessment tool that includes estimates of daily alcohol intake over a specific period, e.g. within seven days. TLFB provides information on various dimensions of the person's drinking habits, such as the number of drinking days and the maximum amount of alcohol consumed. | TLFB will calculate the intake of alcohol units (AE) and change in the seven-day period from the first assessment to the 6 months follow-up. | |
Secondary | The Drug-Taking Confidence Questionnaire (DTCQ). | DTCQ measures the person's confidence in his or her abilities to cope in situations that are high-risk for substance use. The tool yields information about client strengths and needs in the area of relapse potential in 50 different risk situations. | DTCQ will measure changes during the treatment course of 8-12 weeks, and at 6 months follow-up. | |
Secondary | Symptom Checklist -10 (SCL-10) | SCL-10 is a self-report questionnaire for identifying symptoms of psychological distress over the past seven days. SCL-10 contains 10 statements. | SCL-10 will measure changes in psychological distress during the treatment course of 8-12 weeks, and at 6 months follow-up. | |
Secondary | Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-9 | Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) consists of nine items and measures key symptoms of depression. | Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) will measure changes in symptoms of depression during the treatment course of 8-12 weeks, and at 6 months follow-up. | |
Secondary | General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7). | GAD-7 is a screening instrument that consists of seven items and measures key symptoms of anxiety. | GAD-7 will measure changes in symptoms of anxiety during the treatment course of 8-12 weeks, and at 6 months follow-up. | |
Secondary | EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) descriptive system (EQ-5D-5L) | EQ-5D-5L measures health-related quality of life in five areas; mobility, personal care, activities of daily living, pain/discomfort and anxiety / depression | EQ-5D-5L will measure changes in health-related quality of life during the treatment course of 8-12 weeks, and at 6 months follow-up. |
