Ten of the prevention programs were delivered repeatedly [12, 75, 78, 80, 81, 84, 85, 89, 91, 92]. More than half of the studies used information provision ( k = 12) [75–79, 81–83, 85, 90, 92], and the majority focused on alcohol topics ( k = 14) [12, 75–84, 90, 92] in their prevention programs.…”

“…When examining the implemented programs more precisely, some of the included studies ( k = 7) combined normative feedback and motivational interviewing techniques [12, 75–79], whereas others ( k = 4) used normative feedback only [80–83], and two of the studies only focused on motivational interviewing [84, 85]. An already evidence‐based program was completely implemented in two cases only [86, 87].…”

Background and AimsPrevious research has pointed to the potential of workplace interventions addressing alcohol consumption. However, there is still no systematic overview of the effects of these interventions. Therefore, we aimed to quantify the effectiveness of workplace interventions addressing alcohol use by conducting a meta‐analysis.MethodsA systematic literature search for randomized controlled trials of workplace alcohol interventions published between 1995 and 2020 was conducted in five databases. Studies were included if they were performed in the workplace and reported universal or selective interventions aiming for alcohol use reduction. Primary outcomes were any measures of alcohol use. Standardized mean effect sizes were used to calculate the meta‐analytic random‐effects‐model. Additional analyses were carried out to identify potential moderators and to examine the amount of heterogeneity and publication bias.ResultsTwenty studies with 4484 participants were integrated into the meta‐analysis. Results revealed a significant overall mean effect indicating a reduction of alcohol use in favor of the treatment group (d = −0.16, 95% CI = [−0.2715; −0.0511]). Heterogeneity within the data structure was found to be moderate to substantial (I2 = 75.9%, Q‐test P < 0.001, τ2 = 0.0375). Additional moderator analyses only showed a significant effect for length of measurement period (P = 0.049).ConclusionsAlcohol‐related prevention programs conducted in the workplace have a statistically significant and favorable effect on alcohol consumption. Although the overall mean effect is considered to be small, it underlines the effectiveness of workplace interventions targeting a reduction in alcohol use.

“…18 Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be effective for reducing problem drinking among Irish Navy recruits. 19 The SBIRT model for alcohol intervention among military spouses has been proposed as a potential model for dealing with problem drinking behaviors in this population. 20 BAIs, however, present challenges in the military setting.…”

Objectives: Alcohol use in the U.S. military is prevalent and associated with alcohol-related incidents (ARIs), an official U.S. Air Force sanction. Military ARIs incur substantial personal and financial costs. We evaluated the impact of the Alcohol Misconduct Prevention Program (AMPP) consisting of a group-based brief alcohol intervention (BAI) conducted jointly with random alcohol breathalyzer testing on ARIs in the U.S. Air Force. Methods: A 1-hour, group-based, interactive BAI was conducted, and random alcohol breathalyzer testing was performed among 10,087 Air Force Technical Trainees at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, in fiscal years 2010 and 2011. Results: The AMPP was associated with a significant reduction in the odds of an ARI over the year of the intervention compared to the previous year (odds ratio 0.555; 95% confidence interval 0.380-0.811; p = 0.0023). Significant reductions in the number of ARIs were observed within all quarters except for the third. The average rate of ARIs per 1,000 trainees per quarter was 7.30 before implementation of the interventions and 4.06 after implementation. Conclusion: An AMPP consisting of an interactive BAI and random alcohol breathalyzer testing may decrease ARIs among military trainees.
