Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Method: Participants with problematic alcohol use (AUDIT \>7 for men and \>5 for women) are randomized into one of three groups: T1, eScreen referral (n=211); T2, Alkoholhjalpen referral (n=211); Control group (n=211). Outcomes on alcohol use as well as health-related symptoms are assessed after 3, 6 and 12 months.
The first hypothesis is that all three groups will reduce their alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems at follow-ups compared to the baseline level. The second hypothesis is that there will be no differences between participants in the eScreen and the Alkoholhjalpen group in reduction of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems at follow-ups. The third hypothesis is that participants in the eScreen and the Alkoholhjalpen group will show a greater reduction in alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems compared to the control group (no intervention) at follow-ups. For a greater understanding of the study results possible other interventions received by the study participants for their problematic alcohol use during these 12 months of study participation will be investigated.
