Abstract
Problems related to alcohol consumption are priority public health issues
worldwide and may compromise women's health. The early detection of risky
alcohol consumption combined with a brief intervention (BI) has shown
promising results in prevention for different populations. The aim of this
study was to examine data from recent scientific publications on the use of
BI toward reducing alcohol consumption among women through a systematic
review. Electronic searches were conducted using Web of Science,
PubMed(Medline) and PsycInfo databases. In all databases, the term "brief
intervention" was associated with the words "alcohol" and "women", and
studies published between the years 2006 and 2011 were selected. Out of the
133 publications found, the 36 scientific articles whose central theme was
performing and/or evaluating the effectiveness of BI were included. The
full texts were reviewed by content analysis technique. This review
identified promising results of BI for women, especially pregnant women and
female college students, in different forms of application (face-to-face,
by computer or telephone) despite a substantial heterogeneity in the
clinical trials analyzed. In primary care, which is a setting involving
quite different characteristics, the results among women were rather
unclear. In general, the results indicated a decrease in alcohol
consumption among women following BI, both in the number of days of
consumption and the number of doses, suggesting that the impact on the
woman's reproductive health and the lower social acceptance of female
consumption can be aspects favorable for the effectiveness of BI in this
population.
