“…A loss of a high proportion of patients for these reasons, however, is common to other evaluations of ED-based alcohol interventions (Daeppen et al, 2007;Helmkamp et al, 2003;Neumann et al, 2006) and reflects the reach of ED-based interventions when delivered in practice (Karlsson et al, 2005;Nilsen et al, 2009;Peters et al, 1998;Trinks et al, 2010). Although the nonconsent rate of 27% poses a similar threat, it is also directly comparable with published evaluations of ED-based alcohol interventions, which have a mean nonconsent rate of 26% (Havard et al, 2008).…”

Introduction. Risky alcohol consumption is one of the main threats to the health of both individuals and society as a whole. These threats affect, among others, health, safety and financial situation. Their scale and intensity cause the issue of alcohol consumption to become a significant challenge for public health. Objective. The aim of the study was assessment of the occurrence of the problem of alcohol consumption among residents of rural areas in Western Pomerania and the Lubuskie Province of Western Poland. Materials and method. The study was conducted on 350 residents of rural areas -236 females (66.4%) and 114 males (32.6%), median age -42 y. (range -20-76 years). The tools used included MAST and AUDIT questionnaires, Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI), Social Activity Questionnaire (SA), and original questions. Results. In the studied group the problem with proper alcohol consumption occurred. High convergence was observed between results obtained by individual respondents with both tools (r=0.868 with p<0.001). Median on the AUDIT scale indicated the possibility of alcoholism occurrence in the studied group, whereas the MAST test indicated the necessity to conduct an in-depth alcohol diagnosis. Factors that differentiated the points scored by respondents in AUDIT test included gender -more women drank alcohol in a risky way (Z=-2.54, p=0.011), education, health behaviours, professional passivity, and using various forms of support. In the AUDIT test, the alcoholism threat was over 7 times higher in people without permanent employment (vs. employed people), OR=7.41 (95% CI-4.56-12.04), and in MAST test it was over 4 times higher in these individuals: OR =4.45 (95% CI-2.64-7.49). Conclusions. Results indicate the need to intensify the work of regional facilities for solving alcohol problems, as well as educational campaigns in schools and health care facilities.

Context Excessive drinking is responsible for 1 in 10 deaths among working-age adults in the U.S. annually. Alcohol screening and brief intervention (ASBI) is an effective, but underutilized, intervention for reducing excessive drinking among adults. Electronic screening and brief intervention (e-SBI) uses electronic devices to deliver key elements of ASBI, and has the potential to expand population reach. Evidence acquisition Using Community Guide methods, a systematic review of the scientific literature on the effectiveness of e-SBI for reducing excessive alcohol consumption and related harms was conducted. The search covered studies published from 1967 to October 2011. A total of 31 studies with 36 study arms met quality criteria, and were included in the review. Analyses were conducted in 2012. Evidence synthesis Twenty-four studies (28 study arms) provided results for excessive drinkers only and seven studies (eight study arms) reported results for all drinkers. Nearly all studies found that e-SBI reduced excessive alcohol consumption and related harms: nine study arms reported a median 23.9% reduction in binge drinking intensity (maximum drinks/binge episode) and nine study arms reported a median 16.5% reduction in binge drinking frequency. Reductions in drinking measures were sustained for up to 12 months. Conclusion According to Community Guide rules of evidence, e-SBI is an effective method for reducing excessive alcohol consumption and related harms among intervention participants. Implementation of e-SBI could complement population-level strategies previously recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force for reducing excessive drinking (e.g., increasing alcohol taxes and regulating alcohol outlet density).
