A pilot study was implemented in three local authority areas in Scotland to test the feasibility and acceptability of delivering Alcohol Brief Interventions (ABIs) as part of routine practice in community justice. Screening for Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs) was undertaken with offenders given Probation or Community Service Orders, with randomization of participants into control (information only) and experimental (ABI) groups. A total of 419 offenders were assessed; 195 meeting inclusion criteria, consenting to take part and for whom a report was returned. Of these, 42 per cent (n = 82) fell within the harmful/hazardous drinking ranges (eligible for an ABI) and just over half (52%; n = 43) were randomized to receive an ABI. Despite limited follow-up data to measure potential effectiveness of ABIs, the study showed that alcohol screening tools can be used successfully in this context, and that screening and ABIs can be accommodated into routine community justice practice with reasonable levels of acceptability.
