Authors' objectives:
To assess the effectiveness of screening followed by behavioral counseling for adolescents and adults with alcohol misuse in primary care settings.
Authors' recommendations:
Behavioral counseling interventions improve behavioral outcomes for adults with risky/hazardous drinking. For most health outcomes, available evidence either found no difference between interventions and controls or was insufficient to draw conclusions. The best evidence of effectiveness is for brief multicontact interventions.
