Harmful alcohol consumption can have severe consequences for both the individual and society. A review of the six published studies on the effectiveness of general practitioner interventions for individuals with harmful alcohol consumption suggests that between five and 10 minutes of advice leads to reductions of alcohol consumption of around 25-35% at follow up six months or one year later. Two of the three studies which failed to demonstrate an intervention effect had inadequate sample sizes and in two of the studies the control group was a comparison group which received minimal advice to reduce alcohol consumption. There was greater evidence for an intervention effect among men than women. The methodological problems of the studies are discussed.
有害饮酒对个人和社会都会产生严重后果。一项对六项已发表研究的综述显示,这些研究探讨了全科医生对有害饮酒者干预措施的有效性,结果表明,给予五到十分钟的建议后,在六个月或一年后的随访中,饮酒量会减少约25% - 35%。三项未能证明干预效果的研究中,有两项样本量不足,且在两项研究中,对照组是接受最少减少饮酒建议的比较组。男性比女性更有证据显示存在干预效果。文中讨论了这些研究的方法学问题。
