Evaluation of the Hertfordshire Alcohol Diversion Scheme

The impact and delivery of alcohol treatment requirements in the Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Trust area

Planned and unplanned discharge from alcohol services in Scotland, 2004–2008
In the mid-2000s over 50% of terminated alcohol treatment episodes in Scotland ended with the client or patient dropping out. Considerable variation between regions suggests there is room for improvement and with it improvement in the cost effectiveness of services.

Efficacy of physician-delivered brief counseling intervention for binge drinkers
In Madrid, unusually a primary care brief alcohol intervention targeted heavy episodic or 'binge' drinking. The result was drinking reductions which probably saved lives due to less drunkenness and less drinking overall – and both screening and intervention were done by the doctors themselves, not specialist staff.

Computer-delivered interventions for alcohol and tobacco use: a meta-analysis
Computer-based and in particular internet-based therapies open doors to treatment for drinkers who cannot get or do not want face-to-face-help.

ModerateDrinking.com and Moderation Management: outcomes of a randomized clinical trial with non-dependent problem drinkers
Does it help to add a structured internet-based therapeutic programme to web access to a mutual aid network also geared to moderate drinking? Sustained extra moderation in the form of fewer days drinking was the clearest positive effect; less clear was whether it led to greater reductions in drink-related problems.
