目标：对 Down Your Drink (DYD) 的有效性进行试点研究，这是一种基于网络的干预措施，旨在鼓励过度饮酒者采取健康的饮酒方式并减少与酒精相关的危害。 DYD 网站的结构是一个为期 6 周的计划，该计划源自一本手册，其中包括激励方法和认知行为疗法的要素。方法：鼓励对快速酒精筛查测试反应呈阳性以及表明饮酒过量的访客进行登记。用户在项目开始前完成酒精依赖和心理健康调查问卷，并在每周一次的课程中填写饮酒日记。后续调查问卷以电子方式发送给那些完成该计划或错过三节或三节以上课程的人。结果：在为期 6 个月的研究中，该网站的访问量为 7581 次，注册次数为 1319 次。在注册者中，61.8% 完成了第一周，6.0% 的人坚持该计划直到结束。 6% 的人停留了 6 周，他们对网站的价值提供了令人鼓舞的反馈。从那些退出者那里获得的信息很少，但一些人报告说该计划太耗时。结论：针对过度饮酒者的网站干预措施是可行的，其有效性值得评估。
Aims: To conduct a pilot study of the usefulness of Down Your Drink (DYD), a web-based intervention to encourage excessive drinkers to adopt a healthy pattern of drinking and reduce alcohol-associated harm. The DYD website was structured as a 6-week programme, derived from a manual which included elements of motivational approaches and cognitive behavioural therapy. Methods: Visitors whose responses to the Fast Alcohol Screening Test were positive, and those indicating excessive alcohol consumption, were encouraged to register. Users completed alcohol dependence and mental health questionnaires before the programme, and a drinking diary at each of the weekly sessions. Follow-up questionnaires were sent electronically to those who completed the programme, or who missed three or more sessions. Results: During the 6-month study there were 7581 visits to the site and 1319 registrations. Of the registrants, 61.8% completed week 1, and 6.0% stayed with the programme until the end. The 6% who stayed for 6 weeks provided encouraging feedback about the value of the site. Little information was obtained from those who dropped out, but some reported that the programme was too time-consuming. Conclusions: Web site interventions for excessive drinkers are feasible and merit evaluation of their effectiveness.
