Clinical Details
Official title: Randomised Controlled Trial Testing the Incremental Effect of Strategies That Raise Awareness, Acceptance and Performance of Identification and Brief Intervention Programmes for Harmful Alcohol Consumption in Primary Health Care
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Factorial Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
Primary outcome: Number of screening tests carried out in primary health care settings to detect excessive alcohol consumption careNumber of brief interventions for excessive alcohol consumption delivered in primary health care settings
Secondary outcome: Level of role security of primary health care providers measured by their answers to the SAAPPQ instrumentLevel of therapeutic commitment of primary health care providers measured by their answers to the SAAPPQ instrument
Detailed description:
The study will be a stepped cluster RCT in 5 countries and the endpoint of the study is the
number of interventions delivered during a certain time period. More specifically, the RCT
will examine:
- The effect of Continuous Medical Education (CME) to PHC providers
- The effect of financial reimbursement to PHC providers as a pay-for-performance of
brief alcohol interventions
- Whether an alternative internet based method of delivering brief intervention can
increase the proportion of patients reached
- If one implementation strategy will give an added value to one already enforced.
