Hester and colleagues (Hester, Delaney, & Campbell, 2011) conducted a study in which 78 non-dependent problem drinkers were randomized to either Moderation Management alone (www.moderation.org) (either delivered in-person or web-based) or Moderation Management plus online training in moderation management using the “Moderate Drinking” app (www.moderatedrinking.com). While both groups significantly decreased the amount they drank, those assigned to the combination reported a higher percentage of days abstinent (43.9 versus 22.6%) and fewer alcohol-related problems than the group utilizing Moderation Management only.
