Are you between the ages of 18-35 and currently struggling with alcohol use and anxiety/depression? If so, we invite you to participate in our study about alcohol misuse and emotional problems in young adult Canadians. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of an 8-week, self-directed online treatment program designed to help you cope with symptoms of alcohol use and anxiety/depression. Over the course of the 8-weeks, you will learn strategies and techniques from 12 different modules to help you cope with these challenges, while also receiving online support from our researchers. Our hope is that by the end of the program, you will experience a reduction in your alcohol use as well as your symptoms of anxiety/depression. Personal information and potentially identifiable information will be collected. However, all information you provide during your participation in this study will remain confidential. You will also receive a small honorarium for your participation. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please visit the study website at www.takecareofme.ca to sign up. You may also contact either Jona Frohlich or Dr. Matthew Keough at support@takecareofme.ca. This research has been approved by the University of Manitoba Psychology/Sociology Research Ethics Board. Concerns can be directed to the Human Ethics Coordinator @ 204-474-8113 or email: humanethics@umanitoba.ca
Thank you for your consideration!
*NOTE: Must be fluent in English, have weekly access to the internet, and not currently be in treatment elsewhere in order to participate. You must also be prepared to commit approximately 3 hours/week to the program.
