Abstract：
Background: A Zoom-based website was developed in 2020 that offers continuous access to online Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings for the first time. This website provides immediate access for persons with substance use disorder to support abstinence from substance-related addictive disorders.Objectives: This study is designed to characterize attendees employing this online format; to evaluate their experiences for gaining support to maintain abstinence; and to compare the 24/7 experience to face-to-face (FF) meetings they attend.Methods: An anonymous 33-item survey was made available on the 24/7 NA website that links to the 24/7 meetings. Persons accessing the site could choose to fill out the survey.Results: 530 respondents completed the survey (64.9% female/35.1% male). Most had stable prior involvement in NA. They had attended more 24/7 meetings (14.9, SD 19.7) than FF meetings (4.6, SD 7.8) in the previous month. 86% had previously attended FF meetings, 48% had served as sponsors, and 92% reported that the 24/7 meetings were more comfortable for them than the FF meetings (p < .001, Cohen\'s d = 0.65) and more supportive of abstinence (p < .001, Cohen\'s d = 0.91). Of the respondents, 8% were still using drugs, of whom 52% had previously completed some of the Twelve Steps.Conclusions: The 24/7 format provides a new and easily accessible way for NA members to gain support for abstinence and is positively rated by attendees seeking support for recovery from substance use disorders. It may serve as a valuable adjunct to the traditional FF format.
摘要：
背景：基于Zoom的网站于2020年开发，首次提供连续访问在线毒品匿名（NA）会议的机会。该网站为患有物质使用障碍的人提供即时访问，以支持戒除与物质相关的成瘾障碍。目标：本研究旨在表征采用这种在线格式的与会者；评估他们获得支持以保持禁欲的经验；并将他们参加的24/7体验与面对面（FF）会议进行比较。方法：在24/7NA网站上提供了一项匿名的33项调查，该网站链接到24/7会议。访问现场的人可以选择填写调查表。结果：530名受访者完成了调查（64.9%为女性/35.1%为男性）。大多数人在NA中有稳定的先前参与。他们在上个月参加了24/7会议（14.9，SD19.7），而不是FF会议（4.6，SD7.8）。86%以前参加过FF会议，48%曾担任赞助商，92%的人报告说，24/7会议比FF会议更舒适(p<.001，科恩的d=0.65)，更支持禁欲(p<.001，科恩的d=0.91)。在受访者中，8%仍在使用药物，其中52%的人之前已经完成了十二步中的一些。结论：24/7格式为NA成员提供了一种新的，易于获得的方式来获得对禁欲的支持，并受到寻求从物质使用障碍中恢复的支持的与会者的积极评价。它可以作为传统FF格式的有价值的辅助。
