Summary

The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an alcohol-specific intervention program for adult individuals on probation who have problems related to alcohol use. The study was designed as a single-blind randomized controlled trial and was conducted at the Izmir Probation Directorate with a total of 115 participants, 58 in the intervention group and 57 in the control group. When comparing the results between the intervention and control groups, the Alcohol Intervention Program-which consisted of six structured sessions-was found to be effective in reducing participants' alcohol consumption and related problems, while also increasing their motivation for change. This research is significant as it represents the first intervention program developed specifically for alcohol use within the probation system. While existing interventions in both Turkey and abroad often focus on individuals who use illicit substances, alcohol-related problems are frequently overlooked. The results of this study aim to meet that systemic need. The Alcohol Intervention Program developed here can be integrated into routine practices within the scope of educational improvement programs in the probation system.
