The Effects of a Web-Based Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Consumption Among Middle-Aged Women: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the last decade, alcohol consumption among middle-aged women (40-65 years old) in Australia increased, despite declines in overall population consumption. Web-based, brief interventions are promising for reducing alcohol consumption, with efficacy shown in a wide range of populations.

Objective

This study aims to design and implement a web-based intervention intended to reduce alcohol consumption among middle-aged women.

Methods
