CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine01:27

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...
Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction02:23

Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction

Reduction is a simple strategy to convert a carbonyl group to a hydroxyl group. The three major pathways to reduce carbonyls to alcohols are catalytic hydrogenation, hydride reduction, and borane reduction.
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Web-based interventions show mixed results for reducing alcohol consumption. While generally well-received, more controlled trials are needed to confirm effectiveness for alcohol abuse prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Digital Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Web-based interventions are increasingly utilized for health promotion.
  • Alcohol consumption and abuse remain significant public health concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the literature on the effectiveness of web-based interventions for decreasing alcohol consumption and preventing alcohol abuse.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of multiple databases (Medline, PsycInfo, etc.) up to May 2006.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on evaluating web-based interventions for alcohol use.
  • Reliable study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction by two authors.

Main Results:

  • 10 articles were included from 191 initial searches.
  • Only five studies provided effectiveness measures; five focused solely on process evaluation.
  • Low quality criteria met overall, with only one randomized controlled trial identified.

Conclusions:

  • Evidence for the effectiveness of electronic screening and brief intervention (eSBI) for alcohol use is inconsistent.
  • Web-based interventions appear well-received, but further controlled trials are essential.
  • Future research should identify key elements for efficacy and tailor interventions for different risk groups.
