Widely disseminated brief interventions against excessive drinking, as part of the new public health movement, have a potentially crucial role in reducing alcohol-related harm on a national scale. However, a number of conceptual problems and practical barriers to progress in this area can already be identified. This article focuses on the British experience of research and implementation of community-based brief interventions, which is longer than that of other countries, as a means of discussing these problems. Rather than being pessimistic about the possible impact of brief interventions, the article is based on the assumption that it is only by clearly recognizing and solving such problems that the potential of brief interventions in the alcohol field will be fully realized.
作为新公共卫生运动的一部分，广泛传播的针对过度饮酒的简短干预措施在全国范围内减少与酒精相关的危害方面可能发挥关键作用。然而，目前已经可以确定该领域存在一些概念问题和实际进展障碍。本文以英国在基于社区的简短干预措施方面的研究和实施经验（比其他国家的经验更为悠久）为重点，以此来探讨这些问题。本文并非对简短干预措施的可能影响持悲观态度，而是基于这样一种假设，即只有通过清楚地认识并解决此类问题，简短干预措施在酒精领域的潜力才能得到充分实现。
