*520  $aThis report describes the rationale, methodology and findings of a cross-national multicentre clinical trial of brief intervention procedures designed to reduce the health risks associated with hazardous alcohol use. The study was coordinated at collaborating centres in ten countries: Costa Rica, Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Mexico, Bulgaria, Kenya, Russia, Zimbabwe and the United States of America. The results showed a significant effect of the intervention on both average alcohol consumption and intensity of alcohol drinking in the male samples, even after controlling for demographic factors and sociocultural influences. For females significant reductions were observed in both the control and the intervention groups. The type of intervention was not related to the amount of change in alcohol drinking behavior, with five minutes of simple advice as effective as 20 minutes of brief counselling. It is concluded that brief intervention techniques could make a significant contribution to early intervention and secondary prevention if they were widely used in primary care settings. (Summary)
