Implementation program

Health professionals in the intervention arm will receive up to four training sessions in the first three months of the implementation period. Practice support will be continuously available throughout the project. Posters specifically designed for this project will be added to the primary health care units aiming to facilitate eliciting alcohol issues during the consultations, and to help professionals remembering to conduct alcohol screening and brief intervention. Leaflets to be handed-in to patients were also specifically produced for this project, aiming to aid professionals in advising at-risk drinkers to cut down. The research team will schedule with each primary health care unit regular visits for feedback on the progress of the program.
