Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: ICBT for alcohol misuse: Self-GuidanceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants who select this arm will receive the 8-week internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) course for alcohol misuse. Participants are able to contact the Online Therapy Unit regarding any technical issues with logging onto the site. However, no guidance from a health educator will be provided. Clients will be monitored by providing brief measures on alcohol each week and measures of depression and anxiety administered at the beginning of week 5. However, clients will only be contacted if there is a significant clinical issue requiring attention (e.g., sudden increase in symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation).

Group II: ICBT for alcohol misuse: GuidanceActive Control2 Interventions

In this arm, participants will receive the 8-week internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) course for alcohol misuse with guidance from a health educator through regular weekly online messages. Participants may also be contacted through emails and phone calls. The team of guides consists of registered social workers, psychologists, and graduate students, with experience delivering ICBT.
