Effectiveness Bank Alcohol Treatment Matrix Cell C1: Management’s Influence on Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention

MANAGEMENT’S INFLUENCE ON ALCOHOL SCREENING AND BRIEF INTERVENTION

Key studies on management’s influence on the delivery and effectiveness of screening and brief intervention for risky drinking. ‘Bite’ commentary starts with UK guidance which insists managers “must” support this work, highlights the study which presaged a shift from universal to selective screening, and develops evidence-informed understanding of four important issues:
- Whether to insist on these procedures or let clinicians and patients decide their own priorities
- The degree to which management is the key to ensuring quality
- Is reserving brief interventions for non-dependent drinkers a big mistake?
- Where to focus implementation efforts - and how far can managers get if the organisational context is unhelpful?
