Résumé : | This report describes the rationale, methodology and findings of a crossnational multicentre clinical trial of brief intervention procedures designed to reduce the health risks associated with hazardous alcohol use. The study was coordinated by the World Health Organization at collaborating centres in ten countries: Costa Rica, Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Mexico, Kenya, Bulgaria, the former Soviet Union, Zimbabwe, and the United States of America. A total of 1,655 nonalcoholic heavy drinkers (1,356 males, 299 females) were recruited from hospital settings, primary health care clinics, work sites and educational institutions. Of these, 73% were evaluated a minimum of six months following random assignment to either a control group, a simple advice group, or a group receiving brief counselling. The results showed a significant effect of the interventions on both average alcohol consumption and intensity of drinking in the male samples, even after controlling for demographic factors and sociocultural influences. For females significant reductions were observed in both the control and the intervention groups. The type of intervention was not related to the amount of change in drinking behaviour, with five minutes of simple advice as effective as 20 minutes of brief counselling. It is concluded that brief intervention techniques could make a significant contribution to early intervention and secondary prevention if they were widely used in primary care settings.
