Description
Summary:The Employee Stress and Alcohol Project (ESAP) developed an interactive computer-based alcohol abuse prevention and early intervention program accessible to employees over the Internet. Behavioral health research recommends that specialists develop and provide comprehensive yet cost-effective approaches to alcohol abuse prevention, early intervention and treatment within the context of workplace managed care. ESAP's Web site enables employees to self-assess their stress levels, coping styles and risk for alcohol-related problems. It also provides personalized feedback, recommendations, mini-workshops, a drinking journal, links to other online resources and an interactive forum for direct participant-to-participant communication. A study discusses the implications of incorporating the ESAP Web site into worksite alcohol abuse prevention and early intervention programming.
