Sammanfattning
This paper provides an overview of brief
intervention (BI) research to date and
discusses future research needs as well
as strategies for more widespread use
of BI. Research has firmly established
that significant reductions in drinking
can be achieved by BI in a variety of
health care settings. Despite convincing
evidence, however, diffusion of BI in
routine health care has been slow.
Alcohol is a complex subject since it is
often used moderately, without sideeffects,
and in a socially acceptable
way. Although research on BI has
accumulated rapidly during the last
three decades, many important research
challenges and development work
remain before BI is widely implemented
in routine health care.
