Primary care settings can effectively screen young adults for hazardous drinking. A high uptake of computerised screening and intervention offers was observed in a university student health service.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Brief interventions in primary care can reduce hazardous drinking but are underutilized.
  • Young adults are a key demographic for alcohol-related health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Assess uptake of screening offers among young people in primary care.
  • Identify drinking risk levels using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT).
  • Estimate consent rates for computerized brief interventions and follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • 1120 patients at a university student health service were invited for waiting room screening.
  • Participants provided consent for follow-up assessments at 1, 6, and 12 months.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • 90% (1,010) accepted screening; 975 completed AUDIT.
  • 60% of women and 73% of men screened positive for hazardous drinking.
  • Only 4% of eligible patients declined follow-up assessments.

Conclusions:

  • Primary care facilitates computer-aided access to young adults with hazardous drinking patterns.
  • High participation rates suggest feasibility, though generalizability may be limited to educated populations.
  • The study highlights the potential of naturalistic primary care settings for large-scale screening.
