Abstract

Issues Addressed

Alcohol depictions are extremely common online, and there is a reported relationship between alcohol exposure and alcohol use. A browser plug-in specifically designed to block online alcohol depictions may be helpful to prevent the uptake of alcohol or increased alcohol use.

Methods

Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted, examining participants' beliefs about the effects of online alcohol exposure and their support for developing the browser plug-in.

Results

Using reflexive thematic analysis, we found participants highlighted a clear impact of viewing alcohol online and offline alcohol use. Participants believed a browser plug-in that blocked alcohol was acceptable and would be especially useful for minors (to prevent alcohol initiation) and those who are aiming to reduce their alcohol use.

Conclusions

Participants emphasised that viewing online alcohol exposure had an impact on drinking behaviours, such as increased craving and temptation. The browser plug-in was considered an easy intervention tool for both parents and people who are experiencing alcohol-related problems or trying to reduce their drinking.

So What?

Participants' continuous support of an alcohol-blocking browser plug-in suggests that future health promotion strategies should consider the development of a prototype plug-in.

澳大利亚参与者对屏蔽在线酒精图像的浏览器插件的支持：定性访谈研究。

解决的问题：酒精描绘在网上极为常见，有报告称酒精接触与酒精使用之间存在关系。专门用于阻止网上酒精描绘的浏览器插件可能有助于防止摄入酒精或增加酒精使用：方法：进行了 25 次半结构式访谈，研究参与者对网上酒精暴露影响的看法以及他们对开发浏览器插件的支持：结果：通过反思性主题分析，我们发现参与者强调了在线看酒和离线饮酒的明显影响。参与者认为，屏蔽酒精的浏览器插件是可以接受的，尤其对未成年人（防止酗酒）和旨在减少酗酒的人有用：受试者强调，观看网上酒精信息会对饮酒行为产生影响，如增加饮酒欲望和诱惑。浏览器插件被认为是一种简便的干预工具，既适合父母，也适合正在经历酒精相关问题或试图减少饮酒的人。所以呢：参与者对阻挡酒精的浏览器插件的持续支持表明，未来的健康促进策略应考虑开发一个插件原型。
