ATTITUDES AND MANAGING ALCOHOL PROBLEMS IN GENERAL PRACTICE: AN INTERACTION ANALYSIS BASED ON FINDINGS FROM A WHO COLLABORATIVE STUDY

Open access
ANDERSON, P.·2004·Alcohol and Alcoholism

Abstract

AIMS: To determine if GPs' attitudes towards working with drinkers moderated the impact that training and support had on screening and brief intervention activity in routine practice. METHODS: Subjects were 340 GPs from four countries who were part of a World Health Organization randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of training and support in increasing screening and brief alcohol intervention. GPs' self-reported attitudes towards working with drinkers were measured with the Shortened Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Perception Questionnaire. RESULTS: Whereas training and support increased GPs' screening and brief intervention rates, it did so only for practitioners who already felt secure and committed in working with drinkers. Training and support did not improve attitudes towards working with drinkers and, moreover, worsened the attitudes of those who were already insecure and uncommitted. CONCLUSIONS: To enhance the involvement of GPs in the management of alcohol problems, interventions that increase both actual experience and address practitioners' attitudes is required. Such support could take the form of on-site support agents and facilitators.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
