Background:

Problem drinking is prevalent in workplace settings, posing risks to employee health and productivity.
Early intervention is crucial for managing alcohol use disorders and mitigating negative consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of a web-based brief intervention (BI) for reducing alcohol consumption in problem drinkers within a workplace environment.
To assess the impact of the BI on Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores.

Main Methods:

A randomized controlled trial involving 100 workers with AUDIT scores of 8 or higher across six Japanese workplaces.
Participants were assigned to either an intervention group using a web-based BI for 4 weeks or a control group receiving no intervention.
Outcomes measured included alcohol consumption (Timeline Follow-Back) and AUDIT scores at baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.

Main Results:

The intervention group showed statistically significant improvements in the number of alcohol-free days, total drinks consumed, and AUDIT scores compared to the control group.
Effect sizes at 12 weeks indicated a moderate positive impact of the BI on reducing alcohol consumption and problem drinking severity.
Significant interactions between group and time were observed for primary and secondary outcomes (p < .05).

Conclusions:

The web-based brief intervention demonstrated effectiveness in reducing alcohol consumption and AUDIT scores among problem drinkers in workplace settings.
This digital health approach presents a viable strategy for early intervention and management of alcohol-related issues in occupational health programs.
