Summary

This study tested a new web-based tool called LDART that provides daily social support to people who drink heavily and want to cut down. Each night, users set a goal for the next day and check in the following night to see if they met it, receiving encouraging messages from the recovery community. The study enrolled 30 adults in Connecticut to see if the tool is easy to use and acceptable. It focused on feasibility and user satisfaction, not on whether it actually reduces drinking.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
LDART (web-based social support intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a low-cost, accessible tool to help people cut down or quit drinking.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (30 people) testing only feasibility and acceptability, not effectiveness. Results may not apply to broader populations.
