“…Several studies considered the use of BI among vulnerable populations in LA. Studies from Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia evaluated the use of BI among adolescent populations [56][57][58][59][60][61][62], but evidence is mixed and limited in terms of representativeness of the samples. For instance, the few randomized controlled trials [60,62] vary with regard to the number of BI sessions (from one to four) and sample sizes (ranging from 25 to 58).…”

Global alcohol consumption and harmful use of alcohol is projected to increase in the coming decades, and most of the increase will occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); which calls for cost-effective measures to reduce alcohol exposure in these countries. One such evidence based measure is screening and brief intervention (BI) for alcohol problems. Some of the characteristics of BI make them a particularly appealing choice of interventions in low-resource settings. However, despite evidence of effectiveness, implementation of BI in LMICs is rare. In this paper we discuss barriers to implementation of BI in LMICs, with examples from Latin America and India. Key barriers to implementation of BI in LMICs are the lack of financial and structural resources. Specialized services for alcohol use disorders are limited or non-existent. Hence primary care is often the only possible alternative to implement BI. However, health professionals in such settings generally lack training to deal with these disorders. In our review of BI research in these countries, we find some promising results, primarily in countries from Latin America, but so far there is limited research on effectiveness. Appropriate evaluation of efficacy and effectiveness of BI is undermined by lack of generalisability and methodological limitations. No systematic and scientific efforts to explore the implementation and evaluation of BI in primary and community platforms of care have been published in India. Innovative strategies need to be deployed to overcome supply side barriers related to specialist manpower shortages in LMICs. There is a growing evidence on the effectiveness of non-specialist health workers, including lay counsellors, in delivering frontline psychological interventions for a range of disorders including alcohol use disorders in LMICs. This paper is intended to stimulate discussion among researchers, practitioners and policy-makers in LMICs because increasing access to evidence based care for alcohol use disorders in LMICs would need a concerted effort from all these stakeholders.

“…The results demonstrated that BIMI serves as a preventive strategy, effectively reducing the frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption among adolescents. The study further investigated the impact of elapsed time between sessions on the outcomes, providing valuable insights for prevention and evaluation methodologies [ 12 ]. This highlights the significance of incorporating MI-based interventions in adolescent alcohol reduction programs, emphasizing the potential for positive behavioural changes and improved well-being.…”

This study delves into how motivational sessions and brief interventions impact students’ alcohol consumption, highlighting the vital role of nurses in fostering positive behavioural changes. The study aims to discern the effects of these interventions, starting with a pre-and post-intervention setup involving 62 students from a private school in northern Portugal. The intervention comprised a session delivered by school and mental health nurses, utilizing the motivational intervention and FRAMES method and a poster offering feedback on alcohol consumption scores. The results indicated that females tended to drink for fewer days and engage in less binge drinking than males. Furthermore, the intervention hinted at a reduction in the number of heavy drinking days. This study underscores the importance of including healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, in delivering brief interventions within school settings. The findings carry weight for crafting evidence-based interventions to cultivate healthier adolescent behaviours and enhance overall well-being.

“…IBEM -U is an online prevention program for university students and is based on our previously created and evaluated face-to-face IBEM program for adolescents; IBEM showed significant effects on decreasing alcohol consumption [ 33 , 34 ]. A pilot was conducted in 2020 with 60 students, and adjustments were made mainly to the platform.…”
