PRINT - Testing a proactive expert system intervention to prevent and to quit at-risk alcohol use
What is it about?
The PRINT project included a randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of a brief alcohol intervention. The intervention consisted of three individualized feedback letters that were automatically generated by a computer-based expert system. A total of 1,646 study participants were proactively recruited at the registry office in the city of Greifswald and followed up by the study team over a period of four years. Data collection has been completed and data analysis is ongoing.
The project was funded by the German Research Foundation and led by Prof. Dr. Sophie Baumann at the Institute for Social Medicine and Prevention at the University Medical Center Greifswald and at the Institute and Policlinic for Occupational and Social Medicine at the TU Dresden.
The study was pre-registered in the German Register of Clinical Studies (DRKS00014274).
