The purpose of this paper was to review a variety of systematic and quantifiable methodologies for planning and evaluating the provision of alcohol treatment services for communities. These methods include: (a) developing and evaluating indicators of alcohol-related harm in and across defined geographic areas, to assess the relative need for services; (b) demand-oriented techniques that involve the prediction of future demand for services based on the previous utilisation of treatment facilities; (c) comprehensive systems approaches to planning services; and (d) the estimation of the prevalence of individuals who need or would benefit from an intervention for their alcohol problem. In practice, service planners may incorporate a combination of approaches that could be compared and contrasted to assess the convergent validity of results. These methodologies can also be used to provide information for planning and evaluating prevention/health promotion and early intervention initiatives.
本文旨在综述一系列用于规划和评估社区酒精治疗服务提供情况的系统且可量化的方法。这些方法包括：(a) 制定和评估特定地理区域内及跨区域的与酒精相关危害的指标，以评估服务的相对需求；(b) 基于治疗设施以往的使用情况预测未来服务需求的需求导向技术；(c) 规划服务的综合系统方法；以及 (d) 估算需要酒精问题干预或会从中受益的个体的患病率。在实践中，服务规划者可能会采用多种方法的组合，这些方法可相互比较和对照，以评估结果的收敛效度。这些方法还可用于为规划和评估预防/健康促进及早期干预举措提供信息。
