Abstract

(from the chapter) although brief interventions do appear to have a beneficial impact on drinking behavior, there remains the problem of how to reach at-risk drinkers and persuade them to participte in such a program / the Drinker's Check-up (DCU) was developed as a free service that could be offered to the general public, announced through the news media / the DCU consists of approximately three hours of assessment, followed by a one-hour feedback session / impact of the Drinker's Check-up (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) (chapter)
