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 care

Number 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 instrument

Level 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.
