Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study was conducted to explore the socio-demographic determinants of alcohol consumption, to assess the effectiveness of community-based brief intervention delivered by community health workers on harmful and hazardous alcohol consumption and to assess the effectiveness of community based brief intervention plus motivation counselling by former drinkers in reducing harmful and hazardous alcohol consumption. The data show that illicit homemade alcohol was the most frequently consumed alcohol; men were more likely than women to be drinkers. Higher number of drinking friends and family members and brewing/selling alcohol at home were positively associated with alcohol consumption. The results of the intervention showed that brief intervention plus motivational talk was more effective than only brief intervention in reducing harmful and hazardous alcohol consumption.
