Web-based Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Use in Veterans With Hepatitis C
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01707030
Purpose
Many people who are infected with Hepatitis C misuse alcohol, which is even more dangerous
for them than it is for a non-infected person. In this VA study, such individuals will be
screened and given feedback on their drinking using an Internet-based program which has been
shown to reduce drinking in other populations. The research team will evaluate whether the
program helps Veterans drink less over time and thereby improve their health.
