CheckUp & Choices is a pioneer and leader in the field of digital therapeutics—the use of digital health programs and tools to effect behavior change. Co-founded in 2015 by Reid K Hester, Ph.D., CheckUp & Choices develops, tests, implements, and disseminates digital programs that help individuals and organizations realize their potential by reducing alcohol and drug problems. CheckUp & Choices incorporates decades of evidence-based clinical expertise developed by Dr. Hester and his team. The digital resource is based on motivational and cognitive behavioral interventions that have been validated in eight randomized clinical trials funded by competitive grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). CheckUp & Choices implements and disseminates its programs utilizing a state-of-the art, convenient and accessible digital platform that provides verifiable health benefits for thousands of individuals who have successfully used the program to increase their motivation and ability to modify both their drinking and drug use. CheckUp & Choices continues to optimize its existing digital programs while also conducting new research to maximize impact, and so help more of the millions of Americans struggling with substance misuse.
