Resonant breathing biofeedback to reduce alcohol consumption
Overview
Monash and Turning Point researchers are trialling the use of a novel smartwatch HRV biofeedback intervention to help people reduce their alcohol consumption.
The project involves:
- Attending an initial in-person session where you will receive the smartwatch, be taught how to do the resonant breathing technique, and complete some assessments.
- Wearing the watch and practicing the breathing techniques daily for a month at home
- Being reimbursed with vouchers, redeemable at a variety of stores. Participants who are actively engaged in the study can keep the smartwatch.
The initial and final assessments take place at Turning Point (110 Church St, Richmond).
Participants need to meet specific criteria, determined by first completing an online questionnaire.
