Overview
The Depression-Alcohol (DEAL) Project is a brief web-based intervention for young people with co-occurring depressive symptoms and problematic alcohol use.
The DEAL Project consists of 4 1-hour modules based on the principles of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Module content includes psychoeducation, goal setting, monitoring of mood, activity and alcohol use, behavioral activation, decisional balance, activity scheduling, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, drink reduction and refusal skills, and relapse planning and management. Users receive a homework assignment after completing a module. Each module begins by reviewing the homework assignment from the previous module.
