En Europe, la France a le plus haut niveau de consommation de cannabis. En 2014, près d’un quartdes jeunes français de 15 à 25 ans étaient consommateurs mensuels. Fumer du cannabis engendre desconséquences somatiques, psychiatriques et sociales, ainsi qu’un sur-risque d’accident mortel aprèsavoir consommé. Les effets de la consommation durant l’adolescence sont responsables de microlésionscérébrales souvent irréversibles. La lutte contre la consommation de cannabis est un enjeu de santépublic majeur pour de nombreux pays. En France, 80% des jeunes de 15-25 ans ont consulté un médecingénéraliste dans l’année écoulée, ce qui en fait un interlocuteur privilégié pour le repérage précoce de laconsommation de cannabis. Pourtant, peu de médecins généralistes interrogent leurs patients sur leurconsommation. L’Intervention Brève est une technique d’entretien motivationnel, centrée sur le patientet ayant pour objectif un changement de comportement. Des études ont montré l'acceptabilité et lafaisabilité de cette technique auprès des consommateurs. Le médecin généraliste pourrait donc utilisercette technique pour repérer et prendre en charge les jeunes consommateurs.Nous avons réalisé 2 études qualitatives, l’une par entretiens individuels auprès de jeunesconsommateurs, l’autre par focus group auprès de MG, afin de mieux comprendre leur relation et dansle but d’améliorer leur communication. L’étude qualitative auprès des adolescents soulignaitl’ambivalence propre à cette période et à la consommation d’une substance. Ils percevaient le MGcomme juge et possible délateur, mais également comme une autorité bienveillante et l’interlocuteurprivilégié pour parler de leur consommation. Le manque de temps et de connaissances du MG étaientperçus comme des obstacles au dialogue, connaître le MG depuis longtemps était un facilitateur.L’étude auprès des MG révélait également une ambivalence : conscients des dangers du cannabis, ilsconcevaient pourtant sa consommation comme du domaine de la vie privé des consommateurs. Ils ontrapporté un manque de connaissances et de temps pour aborder le sujet. Connaître le patient depuislongtemps était un frein à la relation.Nous avons ensuite réalisé un essai contrôlé randomisé en cluster afin d’évaluer l’effet à 12 mois dela réalisation d’une intervention brève par des médecins préalablement formés auprès d’adolescentsconsommateurs de cannabis de 15 à 25 ans. Après 1 an, la consommation des patients du groupeintervention (GI) est passée de 30 [6-80] à 17.5 (2–60) et celle du groupe témoin (GT) de 20 [5-40] à 17.5(4–40). L’étude n’a pas montré de résultats statistiquement significatifs entre les deux groupes à 1 an : p= 0.13. Cependant, l’étude a montré une diminution significative du nombre de joints fumés dans le GI(p = 0.02), ce qui n’est pas le cas dans le GT (p=0,29). A 1 an également, les consommateurs nonquotidiens fumaient moins dans le GI (GI = 3 [0–15] versus GC =10 [3–30] joints par mois ; p = 0.01). Au6ème mois, l’étude a montré une différence significative en analyse multivariée entre les niveaux deconsommation pour les moins de 18 ans (GI = 12.5 [1–30] versus GC = 20 [12–60], p = 0.04).Ces résultats sont de nature à encourager les médecins généralistes à repérer précocement leursjeunes patients consommateurs de cannabis et à réaliser une intervention brève. La posture d’expert desanté, distancié des représentations personnelles et de citoyen, lui permet d’être univoque dans sonmessage et sa prise en charge, tout en usant d’empathie qui permet une alliance thérapeutique avec lejeune consommateur. La recherche clinique sur le cannabis est délicate en raison de l’aspect illégal de sa consommation et interroge sur la recherche sur les substances illicites en général. Les dangers du cannabis sont tels, qu’ilfaut continuer à encourager l’émergence de travaux sur cette thématique pour comprendre lescomportements des consommateurs et optimiser leur prise en charge / A major public health issue in many countries, the consumption of cannabis is higher in France thananywhere else in Europe. In 2014, nearly a quarter of French youths aged 15 to 25 were monthlyconsumers. Smoking cannabis has somatic, psychiatric and social consequences, and there is a high riskof a fatal accident during or after consumption. Consumption is responsible for cerebral micro-lesions inadolescents in particular, the effects of which are often irreversible. In France, 80% of young peopleaged 15-25 consult a general practitioner (GP) in a typical year, making these professionals ideallyplaced to detect and advise on cannabis use early on. Few general practitioners question their patientsabout their intake, however. Brief Intervention (BI) is a motivational, patient-centered interviewtechnique designed to change behavior, and studies have shown its acceptability and feasibility forusers, including younger consumers’. GPs could make use of it to identify and treat cannabis users.Two qualitative studies were carried out, one using individual interviews with young users, the otherby focus group with the GP, in order to better understand the relationship and to improvecommunication between them. The qualitative study among adolescents highlighted the ambivalencepeculiar to this age group and to substance use in particular. They perceived the GP to be a judge and apossible informer, but also a benevolent authority and a privileged interlocutor in discussions aboutdrug use. A lack of time, and poor knowledge of the GP were perceived to be obstacles to dialogue, butknowing the MG for a long time made matters easier. Studying GPs also revealed an ambivalence:conscious of the dangers of cannabis, they nevertheless conceived its consumption to be a feature ofthe private lives of consumers. They also reported a lack of knowledge and time to address the topic.Knowing the patient for a long time was a brake to the drug dialogue.Based on the data obtained from the study, we developed a one-day training seminar for GPs. Theobjectives were to remove barriers to communication, to refresh doctors on current knowledge aboutcannabis, and to train them in brief intervention.A randomized controlled cluster trial were performed to evaluate the 12-month effects of briefintervention by the GP who had previously been trained among adolescents between 15 and 25 years ofage who used cannabis. After 1 year, cannabis use in the intervention group (IG) decreased from 30 [6-80] to 17.5 [2-60] and that in the control group (CG) decreased from 20 [5-40] to 17.5 [4-40]. The studydid not show any statistically significant results between the two groups after 1 year: p = 0.13. However,it did show a significant decrease in the number of joints smoked in the IG (p = 0.02), which was not thecase for the CG (p = 0.29). Also after 1 year, non-daily consumers smoked fewer joints per month in theIG (IG = 3 [0-15] versus CG = 10 [3-30], p = 0.01). In the 6th month, the study revealed a significantdifference in the multivariate analysis between consumption levels for those under 18 (IG = 12.5 [1-30]versus CG = 20 [12-60], p = 0.04).This study has also allowed an understanding of the complexity of the approach to the cannabisuse in primary care. The structuring of research on primary care is complex and requires methodologicalreflection that is essential for all future projects. Clinical research on cannabis is a delicate matterbecause of the illegality of its use and more general questions of research on illegal substances. Thedangers of cannabis are such that it is necessary to continue to encourage further work on this topic inorder to understand the behaviors of consumers and improve care regimes.

Bakgrund: Alkoholproblematik förekommer i hela världen och drabbar miljoner människor på olika sätt. Tidigare forskning visar att rådgivande samtal är en effektiv metod för patienter med alkoholproblematik, som vill genomgå en förändring i sitt beteende. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelser av rådgivande samtal i samband med alkoholproblematik. Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats baserades på åtta vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet gav tre teman: upplevelser av vårdrelationen, upplevelser av behandlingsmetoden och upplevelser av behandlingsmetodens effekt. Resultat: Litteraturöversikten belyser hur patienter med alkoholproblematik upplever rådgivande samtal. Temat upplevelse av vårdrelationen visade hur viktigt det var för patienten att känna sig förstådda av samtalsledaren och att det fanns tillit och trygghet för att patienten skulle våga prata om sin alkoholkonsumtion. Temat upplevelse av behandlingsmetoden visade att patienterna hade delade åsikter om rådgivande samtal, men att större delen av patientgruppen upplevde de rådgivande samtalen som behjälpliga. Temat upplevelse av behandlingsmetodens effekt visade att patienterna upplevde att det fått mer kunskap om hur alkohol kan påverka olika delar i livet, och det gav motivation till att begränsa sin alkoholkonsumtion. Slutsats: Patienterna upplevde att vårdrelationen var viktigt i ett rådgivande samtal. Det rådgivande samtalet var också tvunget ha ett syfte för att upplevas relevant av patienterna. / Background: Alcohol misuse is prevalent around the world and affects a great number of people. Early research shows that brief interventions are an effective method of treatment for persons when changing behaviors associated with alcohol misuse. Aim: The aim of the study was to describe patient’s experiences of counseling as used to treat alcohol misuse. Method: A general literature review with an inductive approach was based on eight scientific articles. In the result three different themes emerged: experiences of the care relationship, experiences of the counseling method and experiences of the counseling effect. Result: The literature review illustrates how patients with alcohol problems experience counseling. The theme experiences of the care relationship showed how important it was to feel understood by the interviewer and that there was trust and safety for the patient to dare to talk about the alcohol consumption. The theme experiences of the counseling method showed that the patients had shared opinions about counseling, but most of the patients experienced the counseling as helpful. The theme experiences of the counseling effect showed that the patients experienced that they gained more knowledge about how alcohol can affect different parts of their lives, and it gave motivation to limit their alcohol consumption. Conclusion: The patients experienced that the care relationship was important in counseling. The counseling was also compelled to have a purpose in order to be considered relevant by the patients.

Bakgrund: En hög alkoholkonsumtion är en av de levnadsvanor som utgör störst hälsorisk. Trots detta screenas sällan patienter för sitt alkoholbruk i kontakten med primärvården vilket går emot rådande rekommendationer och riktlinjer från flera instanser.Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att klargöra de bakomliggande orsaker som hindrar diskussionen kring alkoholvanor i vårdpersonalens möte med patienten inom primärvården.Metod: Litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats. Litteratur söktes i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL med sökord grundade i POR-modellen. Vidare identifierades MeSH-termer och CINAHLheadings för att öka specificiteten i litteratursökningarna. Valda artiklar granskades med hjälp utav SBU:s mall för granskning av kvalitativa artiklar. Sedan genomfördes en innehållsanalys för att framställa resultaten. Resultat: Två övergripande områden identifierades vilka var Organisatoriska förutsättningar och Personalens attityder och syn på patienten. Vårdpersonalen uttryckte främst tidsbrist, kunskapsbrist samt ineffektiva verktyg och rutiner kring screening för alkoholbruk som hinder relaterade till de Organisatoriska förutsättningarna. Under Personalens attityder och syn på patienten visade sig personalens egna attityder och föreställningar om hur patienten skulle reagera utgöra barriärer för diskussionen kring alkohol. Konklusion: Då framförallt tids- och kunskapsbrist sågs som ett hinder för att diskutera alkoholvanor var det av vikt att verksamheten tillgodoser tidsbehovet samt stöd och fortbildning för att öka personalens känsla av trygghet. För att kringgå de hinder relaterade till vårdpersonalens attityd och förförståelse, kunde de bemöta patienten på ett icke-dömande sätt samt fokusera på det medicinska och hälsofrämjande perspektivet. / Background: A high level of alcoholic intake is one of the most hazardous lifestyle risk factors. Despite this risk, patients visiting the primary health care are rarely screened for their alcohol use, thereby neglecting existing recommendations and guidelines presented by several institutions.Aim: The aim of this literature review was to elucidate the underlying reasons impeding on the discussion about alcohol habits when the health-care staff and the patient meets in a primary health-care setting.Methods: Literature review with a qualitative approach. The literature-search was undertaken in the PubMed- and CINAHL-databases, using terms stemming from the POR-model. Further, MeSH-terms and CINAHLheadings were identified to increase the specificity of the literature search. The chosen articles were reviewed using the SBU-template for qualitative research, and then a textual data analysis was undertaken.Findings: Two overarching factors were identified as Organizational Conditions and The Attitudes of Health-Care Staff and Their View of the Patient. The staff expressed the lack of time, lacking knowledge as well as inefficient tools and routines for screening alcohol use as barriers related to the Organizational Conditions. Relating to the The Attitudes of Health-Care Staff and Their View of the Patient, the attitudes of the staff and their presumptions about the patients expected reactions formed the main barriers for discussing alcohol.Conclusion: The lack of time and knowledge were seen as barriers for discussing alcohol habits, therefore it is of importance for the organization to provide the needed time and continuous education to increase the confidence of the personnel. To avoid the presumed negative patient reactions, the staff could treat the patient in a non-judgemental way as well as focus on the medical and health-promoting perspective.

Pregnancy alcohol consumption has been linked to poor birth outcomes and long-term developmental problems. Despite this, a significant number of women drink during pregnancy. Although most prenatal care providers are asking women about alcohol use, validated screening tools are infrequently employed. Research has demonstrated that currently available screening methods and intervention techniques are effective in identifying and reducing pregnancy drinking. Implementing universal screening and appropriate intervention for pregnancy alcohol use should be a priority for prenatal care providers, as these efforts could substantially improve pregnancy, birth, and longer term developmental outcomes for those affected.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / More than 20 million people in the United States have a substance use disorder, resulting in negative individual and societal outcomes. An evidence-based intervention, Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), involves screening patients to assess for substance use and then providing a brief intervention and referral to treatment when indicated. This evidence-based intervention is underutilized in healthcare settings. The purpose of this dissertation was to contribute to the body of evidence regarding the implementation of SBIRT in healthcare settings. Specifically, the aims of this dissertation were to 1) provide an overview of the evidence regarding the use of implementation strategies to facilitate the implementation of SBIRT, 2) describe implementation of SBIRT by nurses in acute care hospitals, and 3) examine individual and organizational characteristics associated with the intra-organizational adoption of SBIRT. To review the literature, a scoping review was completed on 18 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The review found that leaders often train and educate stakeholders to facilitate the implementation of SBIRT, but less attention has been given to adapting the intervention or engaging patients. Additionally, implementation efforts led to increases in screening, but the evidence regarding the effect on brief intervention is inconclusive, and evidence regarding referral to treatment is scarce. Eighteen nurses participated in a qualitative descriptive study of the implementation of SBIRT, and data were analyzed using content analysis. Participants identified barriers and facilitators associated with the nurses’ attitudes and beliefs about SBIRT, organizational factors, and patients’ response to the SBIRT process. Participants indicated that SBIRT was a useful intervention that was best implemented by providing a clear process and incorporating SBIRT into an established workflow. To examine factors related to intra-organizational adoption of a tool to screen patients for substance use, two hundred twenty-two nurses participated in a crosssectional study. Results of this study indicate that training and the perception of peer usage of the intervention were significantly related to individual nurses’ use of the intervention in practice. The findings of this dissertation can inform research and practice regarding the implementation of SBIRT in healthcare settings.

The present study examined the effectiveness of personalized alcohol feedback interventions in three different delivery formats on alcohol use and related negative consequences in a sample of mandated college students referred for alcohol-related violations. Participants were randomized to one of three conditions: an individually-delivered face-to-face intervention, a group-delivered face-to-face intervention, or a web-based electronically-delivered intervention. Given that the current study sought to modify factors associated with alcohol use, analyses were conducted using only those participants who reported alcohol use at the baseline assessment. The final sample resulted in 173 participants, 18-years-of-age and over, and consisted of 57% males (n = 98) who ranged in age from 18 to 25 years, with a mean age of 18.77 (SD = 1.08). The sample distributions in the individual, group, and electronic conditions were 53 (35 males), 72 (41 males), and 48 (22 males), respectively. Self-reported participant race was 82% White, 9% "Other", 4% Black, 4% Asian, and 1% American Indian or Alaska Native, with 91% classifying their ethnicity as Non-Latino/a. Participant class standing consisted of 69% freshmen, 21% sophomores, 6% juniors, and 4% seniors. The type of housing participants reported living in was comprised of 51% on-campus residence hall, 24% off-campus without parents, 20% university-affiliated off-campus, 2% off-campus with parents, 2% "other" type of housing, and 1% who reported living in a fraternity/sorority house. Findings revealed statistically significant reductions in alcohol use for the individually-delivered intervention, and statistically significant reductions in alcohol-related harms for the individually- and electronically-delivered interventions. No statistically significant results were found for the group-delivered intervention. This study is the first randomized clinical trial to compare an empirically supported individually-delivered personalized alcohol feedback intervention with more cost-effective group- and electronically-delivered feedback formats within a single research design. This examination also sought to add to the extant literature on mandated college students by expanding the range of participant drinking habits reported at baseline to include all drinking levels (excluding those meeting criteria for alcohol dependence), not solely those classified as 'heavy drinking,' as is the typical research convention. Additionally, given the potential demand characteristics to underreport illegal and/or illicit behaviors, this is the first study to provide mandated college students with anonymity pre- and post-intervention. Suggestions for future research, limitations of the current investigation, and implications for the development and improvement of personalized feedback interventions and of interventions aimed at mandated college students are also discussed.

Yes / Aims: There is a clear association between alcohol use and offending behaviour and significant police time is spent on alcohol-related incidents. This study aimed to test the feasibility of a trial of screening and brief intervention in police custody suites to reduce heavy drinking and re-offending behaviour. Short summary: We achieved target recruitment and high brief intervention delivery if this occurred immediately after screening. Low rates of return for counselling and retention at follow-up were challenges for a definitive trial. Conversely, high consent rates for access to police data suggested at least some outcomes could be measured remotely. Methods: A three-armed pilot Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial with an embedded qualitative interview-based process evaluation to explore acceptability issues in six police custody suites (north east and south west of the UK). Interventions included: 1. Screening only (Controls), 2. 10 min Brief Advice 3. Brief Advice plus 20 min of brief Counselling. Results: Of 3330 arrestees approached: 2228 were eligible for screening (67%) and 720 consented (32%); 386 (54%) scored 8+ on AUDIT; and 205 (53%) were enroled (79 controls, 65 brief advice and 61 brief counselling). Follow-up rates at 6 and 12 months were 29% and 26%, respectively. However, routinely collected re-offending data were obtained for 193 (94%) participants. Indices of deprivation data were calculated for 184 (90%) participants; 37.6% of these resided in the 20% most deprived areas of UK. Qualitative data showed that all arrestees reported awareness that participation was voluntary, that the trial was separate from police work, and the majority said trial procedures were acceptable. Conclusion: Despite hitting target recruitment and same-day brief intervention delivery, a future trial of alcohol screening and brief intervention in a police custody setting would only be feasible if routinely collected re-offending and health data were used for outcome measurement. / NIHR School for Public Health Research (SPHR) (SPHR-SWP-ALC-WP2).

A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) pode ser uma possibilidade de acesso a usuários de álcool em uso de risco ou dependência, sendo a Intervenção Breve (IB) uma possiblidade de intervenção. Este estudo clínico randomizado por cluster objetiva verificar a efetividade da IB quando comparado ao grupo controle. Os participantes do estudo (Grupo Intervenção - GI - e Grupo Controle - GC) foram contatados por visita domiciliar após indicação dos serviços de Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) da região Oeste de Saúde de Ribeirão Preto - SP. Os usuários inclusos foram usuários maiores de 18 anos e com escore de consumo >= 7, segundo AUDIT. Os instrumentos utilizados foram AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test), perfil sociodemográfico e Diário de consumo de álcool. Após as intervenções foram realizados follow-up de um mês e seis meses após término da última intervenção. As medidas quantitativas de desfecho foram a pontuação no instrumento AUDIT, na qual se utilizou as alterações na pontuação do instrumento como balizador para verificar a efetividade das intervenções. No grupo intervenção realizou-se ainda uma entrevista semiestruturada. A análise estatística foi feita com uso Regressão Linear Multinível para a amostra do estudo (23 participantes) e o mesmo com a amostra simulada de 30, 50 e 100 participantes hipotéticos. Os 23 participantes (12 do GI e 11 do GC) tinham média de idade em 48.2 anos, sendo 16 participantes homens (nove no GI e sete no GC). Sobre os anos de estudo, a média foi de 7.8 anos (GI a média foi de 9.5 e no GC 6.3 anos). No total, foram realizadas 323 visitas domiciliares. Referente consumo, a bebida mais escolhida foi cerveja e 15 dos 23 participantes não sabiam expressar como se sentiam antes da ingestão de bebida alcoólica. No que diz respeito ao uso de outras drogas na vida, dez participantes da amostra usavam apenas álcool (quatro do GI e seis do GC). Sete participantes usavam álcool e tabaco (quatro GI e três GC). Cinco participantes eram usuários de múltiplas drogas (3 GI e 2 GC). Entre as múltiplas drogas, as mais comuns foram a maconha e a cocaína. Sobre o comportamento de consumo abusivo de álcool episódico o consumo mais abusivo variou de 2,85 a 16, 2 doses. A média dos AUDIT durante o follow up não diferiu muito. A média de AUDIT do GI foi de 15.5 (T0), 16.25 (T1) e 11.6 (T2). Para o GC a média foi de 15.36 (T0), 8.1 (T1), 16.36 (T2). Sobre os resultados da efeito multinivel misto, na amostra real deste estudo não houve diferença significativa (p= 0.80) entre os grupo intervenção e controle, embora tenha sido observado efeito da intervenção. Sobre os dados prevenientes da simulação com tamanho amostral de 30, 50 e 100 participantes hipotéticos, não teve significância estatística, embora o efeito seja mantido. No que se refere aos resultados qualitativos, processados em três classes pelo software Alceste, foram analisados 74% do conteúdo textual, com riqueza de palavras de 94.05%, cujo conteúdo resultou em três classes: classe 1, com 33% da análise e correspondeu ao contexto geral do beber: pessoas e ocasiões que promovem ou desestimulam o beber, e os estímulos foram encontros com os amigos, os sentimentos negativos e às relações sociais; classe 2, 28% da análise e fez alusão ao indivíduo estar dependente de drogas em geral, situou o consumo de todas as substâncias (incluído o álcool) num contexto prejudicial; classe 3, que predominou com 39%, referiu-se ao indivíduo nos aspectos frequência, quantidade e abandono do consumo. Dados referentes ao perfil da amostra, bebida de escolha e influência cultural foram corroborados em outros estudos. Apareceu ainda que, o consumo de álcool não está vinculado apenas às preferências pessoais. O estudo revelou ser possível realizar a IB, todavia, há necessidade de encontrar as estratégias mais efetivas para contactar os usuários e envolver suas famílias e a equipe local dos serviços de saúde. O conhecimento de aspectos qualitativos mostrou que o consumo ligado ao hábito cotidiano pareceu se relacionar a padrão de consumo mensal alto, por isso, mais danoso. Inferiu-se ainda que nesta amostra esse padrão de consumo pode ser devido à carência de orientações e aconselhamento dos profissionais de saúde sobre o hábito de beber. As vivências sociais foram relacionadas ao consumo, prover espaços e momentos de lazer na comunidade sem o incentivo ao uso de álcool e/ou substâncias psicoativas, poderia auxiliar na diminuição do consumo ou abstinência das mesmas / Primary Health Care (PHC) may be a possibility for access to alcohol users who use risk or dependence and Brief Intervention (IB) is a possible intervention. Thus, this clinical trial randomized by cluster aimed to verify the effectiveness of IB when compared to the control group. The participants of the study (Intervention Group - IG - and Control Group - CG) were contacted by a home visit after indicating the Family Health Strategy (ESF) services of the West Region of Health of Ribeirão Preto/São Paulo state. The included users were users older than 18 years and with consumption score >= 7, according to AUDIT score. The instruments used were AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test), sociodemographic profile and Alcohol consumption diary. After the interventions, follow-up was performed one month and six months after the last intervention. The quantitative measures of outcome were the score in the AUDIT instrument, in which the changes in the instrument score were used as a benchmark to verify the effectiveness of the interventions. In the IG, a semi-structured interview was also carried out. The statistical analysis was done using Multi Level Linear Regression for the study sample (23 participants) and the same with the simulated sample of 30, 50 and 100 hypothetical participants. The 23 participants (12 from IG and 11 from CG) had a mean age of 48.2 years, of which 16 were men (nine in IG and seven in CG). Over the years of study, the mean was 7.8 years (mean IG was 9.5 and in CG 6.3 years). In total, 323 home visits were carried out. Regarding consumption, the most chosen beverage was beer and 15 of the 23 participants could not express how felt before drinking alcohol. Concerning the use of other drugs in life, ten participants in the sample used only alcohol (four from IG and six from CG). Seven participants used alcohol and tobacco (four IG and three CG). Five participants were users of multiple drugs (3 IG and 2 CG). Among the multiple drugs, the most common were marijuana and cocaine. On the behavior of abusive consumption episodic, the most abusive consumption ranged from 2.85 to 16.2 doses. The average AUDIT during the follow up did not differ much. The mean AUDI of the IG was 15.5 (T0), 16.25 (T1) and 11.6 (T2). For CG, the mean was 15.36 (T0), 8.1 (T1), 16.36 (T2). Concerning the results of the mixed multilevel effect, in the actual sample of this study there was no significant difference (p = 0.80) between the intervention and control groups, although the intervention effect was observed. Regarding the data of the simulation with sample size of 30, 50 and 100 hypothetical participants, it was not statistically significant also, although the effect was maintained. Regarding the qualitative results, processed in three classes by the software Alceste, 74% of the textual content was analyzed, with a wealth of words of 94.05%. Regarding Class 1, 33% of the analysis corresponds to the general context of drinking, people and occasions that promote or discourage drinking, where the incentive can be encounters with friends, negative feelings and social relations. Class 2 accounted for 28% of the analysis and refers to the individual being dependent of drugs in general, not just alcohol, placing the consumption of all substances in the same context. As for Class 3, higher class with 39%, refers to the individual regarding the frequency, quantity and abandonment of consumption. The knowledge of qualitative aspects showed us that the consumption linked to the daily habits seems to be related to patterns of high consumption monthly doses and, therefore, more harmful, even if in this sample it was observed that the consumption is high also possibly due to lack of guidance and conversations with professional about the habit of drinking. As the social experiences were related to the consumption high doses of alcohol, perhaps provide spaces and moments of leisure free alcohol could help in the diminution or abstinence to the alcohol
