Screening or early iden6fica6on?
• Screening: Strategy used in a popula6on to iden6fy an unrecognised disease in individuals without signs or symptoms.
• Targeted screening: Screening limited to selected popula6on (because of high risk or high vulnerability)
• Early iden/fica/on: Evalua6on of pa6ents in whom signs of alcohol playing a nega6ve role in a case history are present

The AUDIT-‐C
1. How oaen do you have a drink containing alcohol?
2. How many standard drinks containing alcohol do you have on a typical day when drinking?
3. How oaen do you have six or more drinks on one occasion 0) Never 1) Less than monthly 2) Monthly 3) Weekly 4) Daily or almost daily

Prevalence of Alcohol Dependence (AD) and access to treatment. Data from the APC study
AD diagnosis by GP
Pa6ents visited by the GP 13,003
Pa6ents iden6fied as alcohol dependent 5.1% (663)
Pa/ents who received professional help 21.8% (n=145)
• Six EU countries • GPs interviewed about
pa6ents seen in a given day • Pa6ents interviewed with
standardized ques6onnaires when they exit consulta6on

What is a Brief Intervention?
It usually consists of a package involving: • informa6on on drinking risk levels, • the status of the pa6ent’s own drinking in rela6on to
those levels, • encouragement to cut down and set a date for doing so • and perhaps a few simple hints on how cujng down
might best be achieved

What is the evidence ?
1. Do brief interven6ons work? Efficacy studies. 2. Do brief interven6ons work in the real world of primary
care? Effec/veness trials. 3. Are they cost-‐effec6ve? Cost-‐effec/veness studies. 4. What factors promote widespread adop6on of brief
interven6ons into rou6ne prac6ce? Implementa/on trials.
5. Wider roll-‐out work: Demonstra/on studies.

1. Efficacy studies
• 23 trials • Best evidence for 10-‐15 min BIs and mul6contacts • Compared to controls:
• Consump6on decreased by 3,6 drinks per week from baseline
• Heavy drinking episodes reduced by 12% • 11% reported drinking below recommended limits

2. Effec6veness trials
• 24 systema6c reviews • Brief alcohol interven6ons are effec6ve when delivered in
primary healthcare • Brief alcohol interven6on equally effec6ve across different
countries and different health care systems • Insuficient evidence in young and older adults • Op6mum length, frequency and content unknown

4. Implementa6on trials
• Cluster randomized factorial trial • 120 PHC prac6ces in 5 countries • Objec6ve: to test three strategies that might increase implementa6on of EIBI for excessive alcohol consump6on in PHC: – Training and support (Educa/on) – Financial incen6ves (Money) – E-‐Brief Interven6on (Time)

Implementa6on trials
1. Two hours of training led to more interven6ons being delivered.
2. Modest financial reimbursement led to more interven6ons being delivered. Work op6mally when fine-‐tuned to country-‐specific contexts
3. A combina6on of training and support and financial reimbursement led to more interven6ons being delivered than either strategy alone

• Double gap: iden6fica6on and treatment rates are very low
• BIs efficacy and effec6veness established. • Implementa6on is difficult • Dissemina6on is feasible
