Reducing alcohol-related harm in the workplace: a feasibility study of screening and brief interventions for hazardous drinkers.
Alcohol Insight number 63

The main results from the trial suggest that brief interventions in the workplace have the potential to reduce alcohol related harm and also save public sector resources. The employees in the intervention group reported greater reductions than those in the control group in terms of the mean alcohol use variables, and fewer days use of hospital services and primary care than at baseline compared with those in the control group, whose use of such services rose at follow-up.
