“…[18][19] In many of these studies reductions in drinking ranging from 12-46% were seen in the control arm as well. 20 As a preliminary investigation of principle the study cannot be really be compared to these randomised interventions, but the overall levels of behaviour change are not dissimilar. Although the attrition rate was relatively high in the study, with subjects dropping out at various points in the screening process, this is consistent with previous studies of alcohol interventions where attrition rates of 44-83% have been noted.…”

“…It is also worth highlighting that the process of screening for alcohol misuse alone can have an effect and that this can take as little as 20 seconds. 53,54 The value of screening as a brief intervention in its own right merits further exploration in terms of its applicability to general dental practice. The use of dental care professionals (DCPs) has also been suggested as a potential way to deliver health interventions in this setting and this may be more cost-effective than using dentists to provide this service.…”

“…Todos los estudios experimentales utilizaron dos grupos (intervención y control, donde el control suele ser un tamizaje breve sobre consumo frecuente) a diferencia de otros contextos con mayor desarrollo de investigación, como los servicios de emergencia y la atención primaria o los estudios con estudiantes universitarios, donde se han utilizado tres grupos (tamizaje, intervención y control) para evaluar resultados de la IB y controlar los efectos del tamizaje que por lo general resulta en reducciones de cantidad y frecuencia de consumo (31,32). Entre mujeres gestantes es frecuente encontrar reducciones en ambos grupos (20), por lo que sería importante considerar la realización de nuevas investigaciones donde se tomen en cuenta este tipo de consideraciones metodológicas.…”
