Provide feedback about patient's alcohol use compared to similar measures for men and women in the Swiss community and ask the patient's opinion of the feedback 3. Ask the patient to explore the pros and cons of his/her alcohol use 4. Use a one to ten scale to explore patient's importance and readiness to change his/her drinking pattern 5. Ask if the patient feels ready to set an objective and provide positive reinforcement about their ability to achieve this objective 6. Give each patient written material including their Alcohol Screen (AUDIT) score, drinking pattern percentiles compared to the Swiss community, and their drinking pattern objectives. There were two control groups: 1. Control group one completed the two minute lifestyle screener and a 30-minute face-to-face interview including assessment of alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences and a medical history. They were then contacted 12-month later for follow-up 2. Control group two completed the two minute lifestyle screener, signed a consent form and were contacted 12 month later for follow-up Usual care does not include any intervention regarding alcohol. Alcohol use is generally adressed with a single yes-no question about patients' alcohol use. Neither systematic nor case finding stategies of counseling or referral are conducted routinely. |
