The experimental Group received the multichannel Teleac course ?Drinking less, do it yourself!?. It?s a cognitive behavioural self-help intervention to reduce alcohol consumption. The course consists of a course book (?Drinking less?; Lemmers et al, 2006), five television episodes of 25 minutes (Teleac/NOT, 2006) the self-help site MinderDrinken.nl (Riper e.a., 2002) and an informative site of Teleac: www.teleac.nl/minderdrinken.nl. The book has 190 pages and contains information, exercises and a diary to register alcohol intake. The television episodes follow the information in the five chapters of the book. Also two students are followed over time while they work through the course. A tv-coach gives advise.
