A document detailing the SIPS research programme into Screening and Brief Interventions (SBIs) in primary care has been released, outlining the focus of the studies, delivery and relevant hypotheses, but not research findings as yet.
Screening and brief interventions for hazardous and harmful alcohol use in primary care: a cluster randomised controlled trial protocol (pdf) outlines how the study will address key questions such as: the applicability of the evidence to routine practice; the most efficient strategy for screening patients; and the required intensity of brief intervention in primary care.
SIPS will be delivering a free half-day seminar on the 7th October in Gateshead, as a pre-conference symposium to the 6th Conference of Inebria on the 8-9th October. Places are not guaranteed as they will be prioritised for those paying for the full conference. See here to register.
