Task acceptability as measured by the Mobile Application Rating Scale - user version (uMARS) |
Acceptability of the SWIPE app, as measured by the user version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS). Participants will respond on a scale of 1-5, whereby higher scores indicate greater acceptability |

Task feasibility |
Feasibility of SWIPE app, as measured by recruitment and completion rates of at least 100 older adults within 6-months of advertising, with 50% of participants completing at least four sessions |

Craving Frequency Score (as measured by the Craving Experience Questionnaire, Frequency) |
Change from baseline craving, as measured by the Craving Experience Questionnaire, at 4-weeks. The Craving Experience Questionnaire - frequency consists of an 11-point visual analogue scale, anchored 0 = not at all, to 10 = extremely/constantly, assessing craving frequency, whereby higher scores are suggestive of greater craving frequency |

Craving Frequency Score (as measured by the Craving Experience Questionnaire, Frequency, Follow up) |
Change from baseline craving, as measured by the Craving Experience Questionnaire, at 8-weeks. The Craving Experience Questionnaire - frequency consists of an 11-point visual analogue scale, anchored 0 = not at all, to 10 = extremely/constantly, assessing craving frequency, whereby higher scores are suggestive of greater craving frequency |

Secondary |
Approach-avoidance behaviours (alcohol approach avoidance questionnaire) |
Change from baseline in self-report of approach and avoidance towards alcohol, as measured by the alcohol approach avoidance questionnaire, at 4-weeks. This is a 20-item self report measure with two primary dimensions of alcohol craving (i.e. approach and avoidance), where higher scores are suggestive of greater approach or avoidance behaviours (rated on a 9-point scale, 0 = not at all, 8 = very strongly). |

Approach-avoidance behaviours (alcohol approach avoidance questionnaire) at follow up |
Change from baseline in self-report of approach and avoidance towards alcohol, as measured by the alcohol approach avoidance questionnaire, at 8-weeks. This is a 20-item self report measure with two primary dimensions of alcohol craving (i.e. approach and avoidance), where higher scores are suggestive of greater approach or avoidance behaviours (rated on a 9-point scale, 0 = not at all, 8 = very strongly). |

Secondary |
Approach-avoidance behaviours (approach avoidance task) |
Change in alcohol approach/avoidance behaviours from baseline at 4-weeks, as calculated by([reaction time for pushing alcohol stimuli] - [reaction time for pulling alcohol related stimuli]) - ([reaction time for pushing neutral objects] - [reaction time for pulling neutral objects]). Higher positive values indicate a tendency to approach alcohol faster (i.e. faster reaction times for pulling as opposed to pushing), whereas negative values indicate a tendency to avoid alcohol (i.e. slower reactions times for pulling compared to pushing alcohol). |

Secondary |
Change in quality of life, as measured by the Australian Treatment Outcomes Profile Questionnaire |
Change in self report of quality of life from baseline, as measured by the quality of life items from the Australian Treatment Outcomes Profile, at 4-weeks. This is a score ranging from 0-10, whereby higher scores are indicative of greater quality of life. |

Secondary |
Change in quality of life, as measured by the Australian Treatment Outcomes Profile Questionnaire at follow up |
Change in self report of quality of life from baseline, as measured by the quality of life items from the Australian Treatment Outcomes Profile, at 8-weeks. This is a score ranging from 0-10, whereby higher scores are indicative of greater quality of life. |

Secondary |
Change in subjective cognitive concerns |
Change from baseline in subjective ratings of cognitive concerns, as measured by responses to the question "How concerned are you about changes in your thinking, attention, or memory skills", at 4 weeks. Participants will respond on a 5-point visual analogue scale ranging from 0 = not at all to 5 = extremely concerned, whereby higher scores indicate a greater degree of concern in relation to cognition |

Secondary |
Change in subjective cognitive concerns at follow up |
Change from baseline in subjective ratings of cognitive concerns, as measured by responses to the question "How concerned are you about changes in your thinking, attention, or memory skills", at 8 weeks. Participants will respond on a 5-point visual analogue scale ranging from 0 = not at all to 5 = extremely concerned, whereby higher scores indicate a greater degree of concern in relation to cognition |

Change in severity of alcohol dependence, as measured by the Severity of Dependence Scale |
Change from baseline in severity of alcohol dependence, as measured by the Severity of Dependence Scale, at 4 weeks. Participants respond to five items on a 4-point scale (each scored from 0-3), with total scores ranging from 0-15 where higher scores indicate greater severity of alcohol dependence. |
