Résumé :
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of opportunistic brief interventions for problem drinking in a general hospital setting.
DESIGN: Systematic review.
DATA SOURCES: Medline, PsychInfo, Cochrane Library, reference lists from identified studies and review articles, and contact with experts.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Change in alcohol consumption.
RESULTS: Eight studies were retrieved. Most had methodological weaknesses. Only one study, with a relatively intensive intervention and a short follow up period, showed a significantly large reduction in alcohol consumption in the intervention group.
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence for the effectiveness of opportunistic brief interventions in a general hospital setting for problem drinkers is still inconclusive.
