Research outline

So far in I have carried out a meta-analysis looking into the effectiveness of online-interventions in student’s populations at cutting down excessive drinking and I will be looking to send it for publication. Further on down the line I will look into the development or use of an app/or website as an intervention to support students in cutting down excessive drinking.
