Abstract

The positive addiction recovery website (https://positiveaddictionrecovery.com) has been created following a successful pilot study of a programme of work known as positive addiction recovery therapy (PART). The aim of the website is to disseminate PART to an online audience, extending its reach to a larger population. The purpose of this study is to explain the process of creating this online resource and to conduct a user evaluation to understand how well received the website is likely to be to its target audience.Design/methodology/approachAn implementation framework cognisant of positive computing, positive technology, contemporary understanding of human–computer interaction and knowledge acquired from the delivery of eHealth interventions from the past decade was used to create the website. To understand user opinion of the resultant website, data were collected using the mobile application ratings scale user version.FindingsBy adopting a tailored implementation framework, with appropriate determinant factors of wellbeing and evidenced theoretical input, a website resource was created that users considered engaging and informative. The findings also suggest that participants appreciated the importance of intended behavioural change, having interacted with the interventions on the website.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, the website is the first online version of PART, a new programme of work aimed at people in addiction recovery.
