Authors' objectives:
To examine the effects and cost-effectiveness of brief intervention for excessive alcohol consumption among people who attend sexual health clinics.
Authors' recommendations:
Introduction of universal screening and brief intervention for excessive alcohol use among people who attend sexual health clinics does not result in clinically important reductions in alcohol consumption or provide a cost-effective use of resources. While people attending sexual health clinics may want to achieve better sexual health, attempts to reduce alcohol consumption may not be seen by them as a necessary means of trying to achieve this aim
