A Web-Based Resource Informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology to Address Stress, Negative Affect, and Problematic Alcohol Use: A Usability and Descriptive Study

These data suggest that participants were generally satisfied with the web-based Alpha Element Self-Coaching Plan, and rated usability of the program as favorable. Importantly, a significant portion of participants reported that the program inspired behavioral changes. More research is needed with a larger sample to obtain specific data about alcohol consumption and investigate associations between alcohol use and program components, as well as examine gender differences. Data collected from this study will be used to expand the platform and improve user experience.
