Brief summary
Feasibility studies on the SPILLIT safe drinking intervention have shown that participants are willing to create their own personal safe drinking messages and schedule when these messages should be sent to their mobile phone. A full RCT is now required to assess the treatment effect of personalised safe drinking messages. This will be accomplished by comparing the SPILLIT intervention design (Treatment A) with a safe drinking intervention which provides pre-designed and scheduled safe drinking messages (Treatment B) to the participants. These pre-designed messages will be sourced from the HPA (ALAC) safe drinking messages (used with permission) and from the anonymous messages generated during the feasibility studies. I wish to note a change to my protocol to implement this RCT.
Interventions
Participants will be randomly assigned to 3 month access to a web site which (a) allows them to generate text for their own messages or (b) sends pre-set and pre-timed safe drinking messages. In group (a), the frequency of use of the web site and messaging is at the participants own discretion. They are the most qualified to determine when they will need a prompt to consider their safety and drinking behaviour. The web site provides no information on alcohol related harms. It provides no sugges
Participants will be randomly assigned to 3 month access to a web site which (a) allows them to generate text for their own messages or (b) sends pre-set and pre-timed safe drinking messages. In group (a), the frequency of use of the web site and messaging is at the participants own discretion. They are the most qualified to determine when they will need a prompt to consider their safety and drinking behaviour. The web site provides no information on alcohol related harms. It provides no suggested messages or message topics to Group A. Group (b) will have 3 months access to the web site messaging. Their messages will be pre-set and relate to keeping safe while drinking. (see comparator section)
