Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare two methods for identifying risky drinking in primary health care: consultation-based early identification (CEI) and systematic screening early identification (SS).
  • Results showed that more patients in the SS method had their alcohol use addressed, leading to a potential for more brief interventions.
  • The CEI method identified patients with higher AUDIT-C scores, suggesting they may have more severe drinking issues, but the study did not evaluate the effectiveness of interventions based on these identification methods.
