Interest in using mobile technology to help self-manage alcohol use among persons living with HIV: A Florida Cohort cross-sectional study

“Our manuscript contributes to the literature in regards to informing the development of mobile technology-based interventions for persons living with HIV who have hazardous alcohol use issues. To the knowledge of my co-authors and I, no previous research has explored mobile technology usage and the interest of PLWH who drink to use mobile technology for alcohol-related health interventions, and our study is the first to explore this. Our study found that PLWH who drink demonstrated moderate mobile technology use and were fairly willing to use a cell phone app to manage alcohol use, indicating that a portion of PLWH who drink have the interest and technological capacity for a mobile technology-based intervention to reduce alcohol consumption. These findings will be useful to researchers who are designing mobile technology-based interventions aimed at helping PLWH self-manage their alcohol use behavior to improve their HIV health outcomes.”
