Some 23% of men and 8% of women in the United Kingdom are consuming alcohol at levels that are of risk to their health, or are experiencing some problems related to their alcohol use. Traditionally, general practitioner efforts have focused on diagnosing and treating patients with a substantial history of dependence, and relatively little attention has been given to early intervention, with at-risk drinkers identified in general practice through screening or case finding programmes. Evidence indicates that early interventions by general practitioners are effective in reducing alcohol consumption among at-risk patients. Further work is still needed on the most effective ways of supporting general practitioners in this task.
在英国，约23%的男性和8%的女性饮酒量已对其健康构成风险，或正经历与饮酒相关的一些问题。传统上，全科医生的工作重点一直是诊断和治疗有大量依赖史的患者，而对早期干预关注相对较少，在全科医疗中，高危饮酒者是通过筛查或病例发现项目识别出来的。有证据表明，全科医生的早期干预在降低高危患者的饮酒量方面是有效的。在支持全科医生完成这项任务的最有效方法上仍需进一步开展工作。
