Research

  • In MORE [1] we are studying the effects of using two different smartphone applications (apps) as complements to standard treatment for alcohol dependence, and are aiming to validate the apps as means of reporting consumption. The doctoral project entails a randomised controlled trial, a validation study and a qualitative study, and participants are recruited at Riddargatan 1 - the clinic for alcohol and health [2].
