Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine whether a 2-h brief training for primary care professionals was associated with changes in alcohol-related knowledge and with implementation indicators of alcohol use detection. The study design consisted of a repeated cross-sectional knowledge assessment (pre/post) and a 12-month observational follow-up of detection activity conducted across. 63 primary healthcare centers in Mexico City. Participants included 1750 health professionals. Independent pre- and post-training knowledge scores, the proportion of participants completing at least one AUDIT-C detection, and the number of detections per professional were assessed.

Results

indicate knowledge scores increased significantly from pre- to post-training (p < .001). Overall, 45.3% of participants completed at least one detection. Detection activity was unevenly distributed across professional categories, with psychologists and other health professionals recording the highest counts. Both direct and indirect training modalities were associated with documented screening activity.

In conclusion, the brief training was associated with improved knowledge and with real-world implementation of alcohol use detection in primary care. Although causal inferences cannot be drawn, the findings provide valuable indicators of the feasibility and reach of a municipal-scale brief-training model.
