This study evaluated the utility of a brief field-based intervention to reduce alcohol use and alcohol-related problems among men who have sex with men.
A randomized control trial was designed to test a brief alcohol intervention against an attention-placebo control intervention. Over a 13-week period in fall 2009, a sample (n = 152) of men who have sex with men was recruited at a local gay bar in San Diego, CA, and were randomized to a brief alcohol intervention or an attention-placebo control group. Sober bar patrons were recruited before bar entrance and asked to undergo a brief survey and give a breath alcohol sample at exit from the bar.
Breath alcohol concentrations at exit from the bar were not significantly different between those in the experimental alcohol feedback condition and those in the attention-placebo control condition. However, among participants in the experimental condition, those categorized as high risk for alcohol-related problems at entrance drank significantly less than planned as compared with participants categorized as low risk for alcohol-related problems.
Brief, venue-based interventions may be appropriate for men who have sex with men who plan to drink at rates that would put them at higher risk of alcohol-related problems. Additional studies exploring the utility of brief intervention in risk settings are warranted.
本研究评估了一种基于现场的简短干预措施在减少男男性行为者的饮酒量和与饮酒相关问题方面的效用。
设计了一项随机对照试验，以测试简短的酒精干预措施与注意安慰剂对照干预措施的效果。在 2009 年秋季的 13 周期间，在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥的一家当地同性恋酒吧招募了一组（n=152）男男性行为者，并将他们随机分配到简短酒精干预组或注意安慰剂对照组。在酒吧入口前招募清醒的酒吧顾客，并要求他们在酒吧出口处进行简短的调查并提供呼气酒精样本。
酒吧出口处的呼气酒精浓度在实验组的酒精反馈条件和注意安慰剂对照组之间没有显著差异。然而，在实验组中，那些在进入时被归类为有较高酒精相关问题风险的参与者比那些被归类为有较低酒精相关问题风险的参与者饮酒量明显减少。
简短的基于场所的干预措施可能适用于那些计划以可能导致更高酒精相关问题风险的速度饮酒的男男性行为者。需要进一步研究探索在风险环境中使用简短干预措施的效用。
