Résumé
The efficacy of alcohol reduction applications is variable, and the underlying factors are largely unknown. The aim of this study is threefold: evaluate the relationship between user engagement and intervention efficacy, investigate the efficacy of the different functions applied, and investigate the efficacy of the intervention application compared to control groups. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to determine the efficacy of a newly developed smartphone application compared to the controls in reducing alcohol consumption at a 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 days follow-up. Hazardous drinkers, aged 18 years or older, will be recruited through web articles and will be randomized (blinded to their allocation), to receive one of the two versions of the application (educational or control application) for 30 days, or will be allocated to a wait-list control group. Function usage times will be recorded on a single-user level to determine the association between application usage and efficacy. Data collection will be completed by July 2020, and follow-up will be completed by January 2021. The evaluation of intervention efficacy as a function of user behavior will hopefully contribute to the science of developing more efficient alcohol intervention applications in the future.
