Abstract
Background: Problem drinking is a worldwide concern and is often a comorbid health problem for psychiatric illness. With the rising trend in e-mental health interventions, the advancement of smartphone technology has ushered in an era where smartphone applications can be used for behavioural intervention in problem drinking.
Objectives: The aim of the study is to contribute towards the development of a novel smartphone application for use with problem drinkers based on behavioural modification principles.
Methods: Seven postgraduate students in the School of Health Professions at Murdoch University were interviewed about the use of a novel smartphone application for behavioural intervention with problem drinking and the interview transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis.
Findings: Themes that emerged include: accessibility, milestones and commitment.
Conclusions: These findings shed light on the development of a novel e-mental health intervention for problem drinking. The implications for clients from diverse cultures and various age groups are discussed.
