Trial Summary

Do I need to stop taking my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

What data supports the idea that Online Education Program for Responsible Alcohol Consumption is an effective treatment?

The available research does not provide specific data on the effectiveness of the Online Education Program for Responsible Alcohol Consumption. Instead, it focuses on patient education in other contexts, such as improving patient satisfaction with medication side-effects education and enhancing patient safety through web-based programs. These studies highlight the importance of education in healthcare but do not directly address the effectiveness of the online alcohol education program.12345

What safety data exists for online alcohol education programs?

The study titled 'Effects of AlcoholEdu for college on alcohol-related problems among freshmen: a randomized multicampus trial' provides evidence on the effectiveness of AlcoholEdu for College, a 2- to 3-hour online course for incoming college freshmen. This program is part of a campus-level strategy to reduce alcohol misuse among students. The study indicates that such online education programs are widely used and have been evaluated for their impact on alcohol-related problems, suggesting a level of safety and effectiveness in their implementation.678910

Is the Online Education Program for Responsible Alcohol Consumption a promising treatment?

Yes, the Online Education Program for Responsible Alcohol Consumption is promising. Studies show that programs like AlcoholEdu for College help reduce alcohol misuse among college freshmen. Participants in similar programs have shown positive changes in behavior and are likely to recommend the program to others. This suggests that the program is effective in promoting responsible drinking.610111213

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of our brief online program when compared to those who don't complete the program at all.

Findings from Research

Involving patients and their families in hospital settings is crucial for improving patient safety, highlighting the need for effective education on safety practices.
Web-based educational programs are identified as valuable tools for easily disseminating patient safety information and enhancing the knowledge of patients and families.
Requirement Analysis for Developing a Patient Participation Program in Patient Safety.Lee, NJ., Ahn, S., Lee, M.[2019]
A study involving 483 military personnel showed that those who received safety education at admission had significantly improved perceptions and attitudes about their own safety compared to those who did not receive education.
The intervention group scored higher in both perception (estimate: 7.809, P < 0.0001) and attitude (estimate: 5.539, P < 0.0001) regarding safety, indicating that patient education can effectively enhance engagement in medical error prevention.

Patient education is crucial for improving health outcomes, as it empowers patients to make informed health decisions and optimize their well-being.
The review highlights the effectiveness of patient education in various neurological conditions, suggesting that tailored educational approaches can enhance patient knowledge, behaviors, attitudes, and skills.
