Abstract

Background and aims: Controlled drinking (CD) is an attractive treatment goal for a large proportion of individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD), but the availability of treatment methods supporting a goal of CD is scarce. We tested if behavioural self‐control training (BSCT) was superior to motivational enhancement therapy (MET) for individuals with AUD with a treatment goal of CD. Design: Randomized controlled two‐group trial. Follow‐ups were conducted at 12 and 26 weeks (primary end‐point) after inclusion. Setting: Three specialized dependency care clinics in Stockholm, Sweden. Participants: Two hundred and fifty self‐referred adults (52% men) fulfilling criteria of AUD (DSM‐5) and a stated treatment goal of CD. Intervention and comparator: BSCT (n = 125), a five‐session treatment based on cognitive behavioural therapy versus the active comparator, MET (n = 125), containing four sessions based on Motivational Interviewing. Measurements Primary outcome measure was mean weekly alcohol consumption at the 26‐week follow‐up, adjusted for baseline consumption. Conclusions: A randomized controlled trial found no evidence of a difference between behavioural self‐control training and motivational enhancement therapy in reducing weekly alcohol consumption. Both groups substantially reduced consumption and behavioural self‐control training was superior in reducing hazardous drinking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of the project is that more people with harmful use of alcohol should be offered interventions that can help them reduce their consumption. Common arguments for using digital interventions are that they can reach and help more people because they are more accessible and easier to use for those who are unable to seek regular care, who are ashamed of their drinking or who are afraid of what would happen if they sought care. However, there are a few previous studies that have investigated whether more people get help if digital support is introduced in a context where it has not previously existed. Diffusion This project is about spreading digital interventions that in previous studies in Sweden and internationally have been shown to be effective in helping people reduce problems with harmful alcohol consumption. Although they have been effective in controlled studies, we need to investigate how they work if we try to spread them to other health care. Occupational health care is increasingly tasked with working with different lifestyle habits, such as alcohol consumption. There is a readiness and a need for good tools and methods to do this work. If the planned introduction experiment turns out to be the result, then there are ready-made technical solutions to be able to quickly spread the digital interventions that will be tested in the project. Through the close work with occupational health care clinics, the project will also lead to knowledge about how the implementation of digital interventions should be done. Social relevance High alcohol consumption is one of the factors that contribute most to disease and ill health. High alcohol consumption also affects the environment and can lead to accidents and social problems. There are various effective methods to reduce these risks by reducing their alcohol consumption, but the vast majority do not themselves seek care for their alcohol consumption. Many problems that cause people to seek care at the health center are related to alcohol consumption and can be fully or partially improved by reducing consumption. In the project, we will offer support in an easily accessible and attractive way in connection with people coming to the health center and hope thereby to be able to provide more support to reduce their alcohol consumption.

Abstract

AIMS - National alcohol policy in Sweden has to a certain extent grown weaker, and there has instead been an increased focus on strengthening local alcohol prevention. Swedish municipalities carry out a variety of alcohol prevention activities, but there is little knowledge of how the magnitude of all these activities has developed over time. One reason for this lack of information is the limitation of tools for monitoring prevention activities locally. The aim of this study is 1) to develop an Alcohol Prevention Magnitude Measure (APMM) based on local data and 2) to analyse the development of local alcohol prevention by using APMM. DATA - The APMM is based on 37 different indicators of local prevention. Data derives from web-based surveys comprising all Swedish municipalities and from information on licensed premises at the local level. RESULTS - The results reveal that local alcohol prevention in Sweden, as measured by the APMM, has increased generally between 2006 and 2010. The increase is the result of more local policies and activities. CONCLUSION - The results indicate that the APMM captures real changes at the local level, as the APMM increased significantly in community intervention municipalities compared to others
