Improving Help-seeking Propensity Through a Micro-intervention Targeting Common Concerns Among Individuals With Alcohol Problems: A Randomized Controlled Experiment

Many people who have risky alcohol use or alcohol dependence do not seek help, often is due to concerns about potential consequences or feelings of shame. At the same time, the prognosis is good for those who do seek help and there are effective treatments available. This project aims to investigate whether increased information about the process can lower these barriers, and in turn encourage more people to seek help for alcohol-related problems.
