Abstract

Unhealthy substance use lies on a wide range that extends from occasional mild risky/harmful/hazardous use to severe substance use disorder. Brief intervention (BI) is a technique, used to initiate change for an unhealthy or risky substance use. It can be delivered by a vast array of trained professionals, in opportunistic settings (i.e. in people seeking help not for their substance use, but either its consequences or for completely unrelated physical or psychiatric disorders), and across substances, age and ethno-cultural groups. The six common elements of BIs are summarized by the acronym FRAMES, consisting of Feedback, Responsibility, Advise, Menu for change, Empathy, and enhancing Self-efficacy. BI has also been strategically combined with referral to appropriate treatment services. BI has shown efficacy for reducing substance use and its harmful consequences. The evidence for post-BI improved functionality and quality of life are also emerging.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the absence of a consistent definition of BIs in the literature, we settled on that by Mattoo et al which described BIs as those delivered over 1-4 sessions.

    “A second limitation is that in the absence of a consistent definition of BIs in the literature, we settled on that by Mattoo et al [36] which described BIs as those delivered over 1–4 sessions.”

  • This is consistent with the definition by Mattoo et al that BIs last 1-4 sessions.

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.
