Background:

  • Secondary prevention programs are crucial for managing alcohol consumption.
  • Cognitive behavioral approaches offer effective strategies for behavior change.
  • Identifying and intervening with moderate heavy drinkers is a public health priority.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficiency of the l'Alcochoix program for reducing alcohol consumption.
