Abstract

Introduction: most people with alcohol use disorders do not undergo treatment. Objective: To evaluate the care of patients with alcohol use disorders by primary care (PC) nurses. Methods: A randomized stimulus trial was conducted. It was conducted in 3 primary care practices over 12 months. Results: The mean percentage of AUD decreased from 61 % at baseline to 39 % and 35 % in the intervention and usual care groups at 12 months, respectively (p = 0.44). Conclusions: Patient-centered interventions that recommend an abstinence goal and offer brief therapy for Food Behavior Disorder FBD appear to be the most effective.
