An evaluation of long-term changes in alcohol use and alcohol problems among clients of the Swedish National Alcohol Helpline

摘要

BackgroundThe Swedish National Alcohol Helpline was developed with the intention to provide an easily available, low threshold service to hazardous and harmful alcohol users in the community. The primary aim of this study was to describe the 12-month outcome of a cohort of clients and to evaluate whether these varied as a function of the intensity of exposure to the intervention.
