The value of engagement with online recovery communities for structurally vulnerable women in recovery from alcohol misuse.

申请的这一项目的目的是展示与在线康复社区的接触在成果方面为酗酒和吸毒成瘾者的康复产生的价值，这些成果包括康复资本、身心健康、生活质量、禁欲、就业和住房。我提出了一个定性的，netnographic的方法来探讨参与这些社区的结构脆弱的妇女在恢复酒精滥用的价值，在不同领域的恢复资本，使用社会认同理论作为框架。该项目还将探讨可能影响与这些社区接触的因素，包括在线社会支持在哪些方面适合个人和不同妇女群体的康复途径。该项目的最后一部分将研究所收集的信息如何有助于开发一种以恢复为导向的在线支持模式，这种模式有可能作为一种独立的治疗选择，或成为离开住院治疗的人的转诊途径的一部分。

The aim of this project, as applied for, is to demonstrate the value that engagement with online recovery communities generates for people in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction in terms of outcomes that include recovery capital, physical and psychological health, quality of life, abstinence, employment and housing. I propose a qualitative, netnographic approach to explore the value of engagement with such communities for structurally vulnerable women in recovery from alcohol misuse, in terms of the different domains of recovery capital, using social identity theory as a framework. The project will also explore the factors that might affect engagement with such communities including where online social support fits into the recovery pathways of individuals and different groups of women. The final part of the project will look at how the information gathered might contribute to the development of a recovery-oriented model of online support that has the potential to serve as a standalone therapeutic option or form part of the referral pathway for people leaving residential treatment.
