Abstract
Online alcohol screening interventions have been developed to address the significant public health and economic costs of alcohol consumption. However, none of these allow access to an extended range of intervention techniques. Therefore, a new online intervention has been developed, Breaking Free Online (BFO), that allows access to a wider range of intervention techniques. This study was an outcomes evaluation examining effectiveness of BFO with 300 service users seeking support for alcohol misuse. Participants completed an online assessment of alcohol consumption and dependence, depression, anxiety and quality of life, and then completed the same assessment following a period of engagement with BFO. Significant reductions were seen in alcohol consumption and dependence, depression and anxiety, and a significant increase in quality of life. This initial outcomes data indicates that BFO delivered as an E-BI may be an effective and cost-effective intervention for treatment of alcohol misuse.
