Conference on Alcohol Screening and Brief Interventions: From Research into Practice - A one day conference including findings from the SIPS Trials and the launch of SIPS Junior
DeCrespigny Park, London SE5 8AF
The SIPS alcohol screening and brief intervention (ASBI) research programme was funded by the UK Department of Health in 2006 as part of the national Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy for England. The programme comprised three cluster randomised controlled trials of different methods of screening and brief intervention across three settings: Emergency Departments, Primary Health Care, and Probation Services. The three trials had a similar design to allow comparisons across settings. The main aims of the programme were to evaluate the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of different methods of screening and brief interventions for alcohol misuse and to assess the feasibility of, and factors promoting or inhibiting, implementation in the typical practice setting.
This one day conference will present the findings of the SIPS trials and introduce a new programme of research on alcohol screening and brief intervention in adolescents (SIPS jr).
