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.
