Brief interventions are generally delivered over one to three sessions and include an abbreviated assessment of drinking severity and related problems as well as the provision of motivational feedback and advice. Typically studied in general medical or school-based settings and in non-treatment-seeking heavy drinkers, brief therapies have been shown to be effective in reducing alcohol use and improving general health and social functioning (79, 275, 1109). In these sub-groups of patients, the…
