Abstract

Aim: Intervention design may be improved through evaluating the feedback from those who have been exposed to such interventions. As such, here the perspectives of the intervention group from a recent randomized control trial investigating the effectiveness of a digital alcohol intervention, in terms of perceived suitability and usefulness of the support tool they engaged with, were investigated.

Methods: Respondents (N=475; 45% of the intervention group) answered five quantitative questions addressing user experience, completed the 10-item System Useability Scale, and were offered the opportunity to write free-text feedback. Quantitative measures were analysed using ordinal and linear regression with baseline characteristics as predictors, and free-text responses were evaluated using content analysis.

Results: Overall, respondents were positive towards the intervention in terms of it fitting their needs, the usefulness of the tools included, and the usefulness of text message content. The intervention was perceived as more helpful by respondents with lower total weekly alcohol consumption, higher self-reported confidence in their ability to reduce their drinking, and the perceived importance there of, at baseline. The free-text comments revealed the value of reminders as prompts to reflect on one's own drinking behaviour. Nonetheless, criticisms of the intervention were voiced, primarily highlighting the repetitive nature of the reminders and the lack of individuation in advice. Some also feltlike the intervention was impersonal and targeted only a specific drinking pattern.

Conclusions: Experiences of the intervention group in this trial were generally positive, though there may be demand for more individualised, targeted intervention design.

对针对饮酒的数字支持工具的满意度:来自随机对照试验参与者的观点。
目的:干预设计可以通过评估接触过此类干预的人的反馈来改进。因此,在这里,调查了最近一项随机对照试验中干预组对数字酒精干预有效性的看法,即他们所使用的支持工具的适用性和有用性。方法:受访者(N=475;干预组的45%)回答了5个关于用户体验的定量问题,完成了10项系统可用性量表,并有机会撰写免费文本反馈。定量测量使用有序和线性回归进行分析,基线特征作为预测因素,自由文本回答使用内容分析进行评估。结果:总体而言,受访者对干预措施持积极态度,认为它符合他们的需求、所包含工具的有用性以及短信内容的有用性。在基线时,每周饮酒总量较低、自我报告对自己减少饮酒能力的信心较高以及对其重要性的受访者认为干预更有帮助。免费短信评论揭示了提醒作为反思自己饮酒行为的提示的价值。尽管如此,还是有人对干预措施提出了批评,主要突出了提醒的重复性和建议缺乏个性化。一些人还认为这种干预是非个人的,只针对特定的饮酒模式。结论:本试验中干预组的经验总体上是积极的,尽管可能需要更个性化、更有针对性的干预设计。

期刊介绍: About the Journal Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field. Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results. Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
