title: Web-based treatment for problem drinking.
abstract: Interest in Web-based interventions to curtail hazardous drinking has increased in recent years. Emerging research findings suggest that Web-based interventions may help reduce alcohol abuse, especially among college students and women. At the same time, it may be difficult for marginalized individuals and those in rural areas to access the Internet. Nurses are encouraged to help clients evaluate alcohol intervention Web sites to identify the best treatment options. Additional research is recommended to determine the efficacy of online alcohol treatment services.
