Abstract
This is the first phase of a joint initiative between the Health Service Executive,
University College Cork (UCC), Trinity College, Dublin (TCD) and NUI Galway (NUIG). It
is a nine month research study exploring the feasibility of the development of internet
based health promotion materials for Irish third level students, with a particular focus on
alcohol use. To achieve this aim, the study was divided into four components; a brief
review of the literature, qualitative research to assess both the perspectives of students
and university personnel, specifically computer services and recommendations for future
development.
