N2  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and moderators of E-Interventions versus assessment only (AO) controls in the reduction of alcoholic drinks per week (DWP) in university students. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Cochrane library, CINAEL, ERIC, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched up to June 2017. Studies were included if they were: an RCT, assessed the effectiveness of E-Interventions at reducing DWP, and employed university/college students. 23 studies (N = 7,614) were included and quality was assessed using the JADAD scale. <br><br>RESULTS: Weighted mean effect sizes were calculated using random-effects models. These showed a small, significant effect of E-Interventions at reducing the number of alcoholic DWP. Moderator analysis found a significant advantage for web-based personalised feedback interventions compared to other E-Interventions. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: E-Interventions show a small, significant effect at reducing mean alcoholic DPW. Personalised feedback E-Interventions showed the strongest effect.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
