“…The mental health indicators in Chile prior to the outbreak indicated high levels of alcohol and substance abuse (González Suitt, Geraldo, Estay, & Franklin, 2019) as well as a high index of depressive disorders among adolescents and adults (Basso Musso, Mann, Strike, Brands, & Khenti, 2012; Toledo, Pizarro, & Castillo-Carniglia, 2015). In addition, Chileans’ mental health has been affected by aggravated socioeconomic and environmental conditions, such as natural disasters, significant social and economic inequalities, lack of trust in government institutions, and disparity in the access to health care and education (Rotarou & Sakellariou, 2017).…”

With one of the highest testing rates of COVID-19 in Latin America, Chile continues to record low mortality rates from the disease. Several measures such as curfews, cancellation of large gatherings, and closure of schools and businesses have been implemented. Against the backdrop of high levels of alcohol/substance abuse, mental health disorders, and inequalities across Chile, it is likely that levels of stress and anxiety will peak during the COVID-19 pandemic. As key public health responses such as testing, contact tracing, isolation and management of confirmed cases of COVID-19 are being ramped up, it is expedient to prioritize measures to safeguard the mental health of Chileans.

“…Mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and social problems like domestic partner violence, are also frequently associated with AUDs. This is true among both adolescent and adult populations in Chile (Basso Musso, Mann, Strike, Brands, & Khenti, 2012;Toledo, Pizarro, & Castillo-Carniglia, 2015;Rojas et al, 2012;Vizcarra, Cortés, Bustos, Alarcón, & Muñoz, 2001a, 2001b, pointing to a need for behavioral health interventions that can address comorbid AUDs and mental health conditions.…”

This article presents a pilot study exploring the applicability of a linguistically adapted, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) program, implemented by social workers in Chilean primary care. Method: We completed a single-case design with eight replications. To analyze the results of the program on participants' alcohol use and other related variables, we conducted visual and percentage of nonoverlapping data analyses. Results: Social workers successfully implemented 10 of the 13 SFBT techniques. Although results need to be interpreted with caution, positive trends were observed. Participants increased their "percentage of days abstinent," diminished "consequences of alcohol use," decreased their "depression index," and increased their "selfreported well-being." Discussion: Results are consistent with previous studies on SFBT and alcohol use. Exception and coping questions may serve to increase abstinent days. SFBT focus on issues other than alcohol that are important to clients could help to reduce harm on individuals who use alcohol.
