Background: Personalized Normative Feedback (PNF) aims to modify misperceptions about peer consumption that influence one's drinking. PNF is usually a component in Brief Interventions delivered to university students. Despite this, whether PNF contributes to improving the effect of brief interventions is unclear. Objectives: This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the role of PNF as an active ingredient in a face-to-face motivational brief intervention. Results: Participants were students from an Argentinian university (n=806; M=20.14; SD=3.17; 63.2% women) who presented at least one binge drinking episode in the last 12 months. Students were randomly assigned to 1) a Brief Intervention, 2) a Brief Intervention with PNF, or 3) an evaluation-only control group. The follow-up was three months later. After controlling sex and age, General Linear Models showed that both the brief intervention and the brief intervention with PNF reduced the quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption, binge drinking, and alcohol problems compared to the control condition. No differences were found between the brief intervention and the brief intervention with PNF. Also, treating eight students with brief intervention and 10 with brief intervention with PNF was necessary to benefit one student. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study demonstrates that brief intervention reduces alcohol consumption among Latin American university students and that PNF might not be an active ingredient of its effectiveness in this population. However, PNF could benefit students with specific characteristics, like those who overestimate their peers' drinking, highlighting the need to study moderators of effectiveness further.

Although Brief Intervention (BI) has proven to reduce alcohol consumption during pregnancy in high income countries, there is no evidence from the Southern Cone of America. Thus, we conducted a study to assess BI efficacy among Argentinean pregnant women. We collected data on pregnant women receiving prenatal care at the public health system in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Women with less than 26 weeks of gestation (n = 486) were randomized to brief advice (BA) or BI. Three months later they were re-assessed; women with more than 26 weeks of gestation constituted a screening only control group (SC) (n = 154). Self-reported quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption, frequency of binge drinking, and related problems after three months were used as outcomes. We performed generalized estimating equations and clinical significance analyses. Also, we obtained newborn health indicators from the city's health system database to use as objective outcomes. Women who did not participate in any of the three former conditions were randomly selected to constitute a non-screening control group (NSC) (n = 150). We compared objective outcomes among BI, BA, and NSC groups using the Wilcoxon rank test. In comparison with SC, BI and BA reduced alcohol consumption, without differences between the latter two. Newborns of women who received BI and BA had better health indicators compared with the NSC group. performing either a BI or BA reduces alcohol consumption among Argentinean pregnant women and might lead to healthier newborns.

Objective. To report the risk from alcohol, cannabis, and their combined use for non-fatal road traffic injuries for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Methods. Risk was estimated using the case-crossover method. Participants (N= 306) were injured patients from an emergency department in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Results. Alcohol use (OR= 6.78, CI 95% 3.75-12.25) as well as combined alcohol and cannabis use (OR= 7.05, CI 95% 1.16-42.73) significantly increased the risk of a road traffic injuries. Alcohol use increased the risk in both, women (OR= 8.87, CI 95% 2.69-29.21) and men (OR= 6.16, CI 95% 3.10-12.23); in those >30 years old (OR= 6.01, CI 95% 2.09-17.24) and those <30 years old (OR= 7.15, CI 95% 3.49-14.65). This last group also had an increased risk after combined alcohol and cannabis use (OR= 7.05, CI 95% 1.16-42.75). Both drivers (OR= 6.40, CI 95% 3.23-12.69) and passengers (OR= 13.83, CI 95% 2.87-66.42) had an increased risk after alcohol consumption. Conclusions. To our knowledge, these are the first estimates of the risk of having a road traffic injury after alcohol and cannabis consumption in one of the countries of the Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay). These results highlight the urgent need to implement and enforce comprehensive alcohol control measures. Furthermore, given the global trend towards legalizing cannabis for recreational use, our results could also inform policymakers to enact or amend impaired driving laws. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Alcohol consumption is the leading risk factor for morbi-mortality in many Latin American Countries. However, epidemiologic studies are relatively scarce. Among factors such as limited research capacity, disciplinary traditions and an emphasis on psychopathology within the field of psychology, have been postulated to account for this. The aim of this article is to review epidemiologic research on alcohol in Spanish Speaking Latin American Countries, and to measure the contribution of psychology to the field. A systematic search was performed in English and Spanish using regional and international data bases. We identified 269 articles. Most focused on consumption patterns in youth, with samples from a single school and using a variety of measures. With the exception of multinational efforts like Emergency Room Collaborative Alcohol Analysis Project or those supported by World Health Organization/Pan American Health Organization, studies reviewed reflected little cross country collaboration. Mexico accounted for most of the productivity, while many countries had very few or no articles. Most research was performed by health science researchers with a small contribution from psychology, but which increased significantly over time. The results of this review provide a broad identification of patterns regarding epidemiologic research on alcohol, and demonstrate the need for national scientific policies to promote research on public health topics.

Entre los problemas metodológicos que presentan los estudios en el campo del consumo de alcohol y los problemas relacionados, se encuentra la carga de la respuesta. Se define como un fenómeno subjetivo, una función entre el tiempo y la demanda cognitiva/emocional de la información a indagar. Su subestimación puede comprometer la validez de los resultados obtenidos e incrementar los costos de la investigación. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar aspectos metodológicos que podrían relacionarse con la carga de la respuesta en el área de investigación del consumo de alcohol y los problemas relacionados. En esta revisión narrativa se utilizaron los buscadores PubMed, Scopus, Scielo y Google Scholar, con los términos de búsqueda ?response burden?, ?respondent burden?, ?response fatigue?, ?subject burden?, ?carga de la respuesta?, ?carga de respuesta?, ?carga para los encuestados?, ?carga de los informantes?, ?carga de los participantes?. Los factores relacionados hallados incluyen el tipo de diseño, la población, el tiempo, largo y el contenido de las preguntas de los instrumentos, el escenario de recolección de datos, y la carga de larespuesta en estudios cualitativos. Finalmente, se incluyen algunas recomendaciones para reducir su aparición de acuerdo a distintas decisiones metodológicas. Among the methodological problems involved in studies in the field of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems is the response burden. This is defined as a subjective phenomenon, a function between the time and the cognitive/emotional demand of the information to be sought. The underestimation of the response burden can compromise the validity of the results obtained, and increase the costs of research. The purpose of this paper is to analyze methodological aspects that could be related to the response burden in alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems research. In this narrative review we used search engines PubMed, Scopus, Scielo and Google Scholar, with the search terms “response burden”, “respondent burden”, “response fatigue”, “subject burden”, “carga de la respuesta”, “carga de respuesta”, “carga para los encuestados”, “carga de los informantes”, “carga de los participantes”. The related factors found include the type of design, population, time, length and content of the instrument, setting and the response burden in qualitative studies. Lastly, some recommendations to reduce their occurrence according to different methodological decisions are included. Fil: Conde, Karina Natalia. Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata.

Resumen: Los trastornos por uso de alcohol son preocupantemente altos en la población universitaria. Contar con instrumentos de tamizaje es fundamental para la medición epidemiológica y la práctica clínica. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar el desempeño de los instrumentos de tamizaje más usados a nivel internacional (AUDIT, AUDIT-C, TWEAK, RAPS-QF y CAGE) en estudiantes universitarios de Argentina. Los instrumentos de tamizaje, junto a la Entrevista Diagnóstica Compuesta Internacional, que permite obtener diagnósticos compatibles con el DSM 5, fueron administrados a una muestra probabilística (N = 2,430) de estudiantes de una universidad pública nacional. Entre otros, se evaluaron los puntos de corte óptimos, la sensibilidad, la especificidad, la consistencia interna y la estabilidad temporal, así como la presencia y la capacidad de discriminación de los ítems. La apreciación global de los resultados sugiere que tanto el AUDIT como el RAPS-QF serían los instrumentos preferibles para detectar la presencia de trastorno por uso de alcohol en esta población. Abstract: The prevalence of alcohol use disorders in university students is alarmingly high. Screening instruments are fundamental for both, epidemiological research and clinical practice. The aim of this article is to compare the performance of the most widely used screening instruments (AUDIT, AUDIT-C, TWEAK, RAPS-QF, and CAGE) in Argentinean university students. Screening tests, along with the Alcohol Section of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview that yields DSM 5 compatible diagnoses were administered to a probabilistic sample (N = 2,430) of university students from a national public university. The following characteristics were evaluated among others: optimal cut-off points, sensitivity, specificity, internal consistency, temporal stability, and item presence and discrimination capacity. The global appraisal of results suggests that the AUDIT and RAPS-QF would be preferable for evaluating AUD in this population.

The aim of this article was to analyze the psychometric properties of an adapted version of the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire Adolescent (AEQ-A) in university students from Mar del Plata city, Argentina. Expectancies about the effects of alcohol refer to the beliefs that people hold about the consequences of alcohol consumption on behavior. Expectancies have been related to drinking initiation and maintenance, and to habitual drinking patterns. Although several questionnaires have been developed to measure expectancies, the AEQ-A has been one of the most frequently used. Studies in different cultural that, given expectancies' cultural variability, the questionnaire must be adapted to each particular context. A version of the AEQ-A previously validated in Mar del Plata, Argentina, was used, consisting of 40 items measured on a (true / false) dichotomous scale. The sample consisted of 1076 psychology students from the National University of Mar del Plata, Argentina. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes were performed. The factorial analysis resulted in six factors containing 37 items. Internal consistency of each subscale was adequate. Concurrent validity was satisfactory inasmuch as scores on the subscales about beliefs associated with positive effects of consumption in social situations relate to heavy episodic drinking. Instruments like this one to evaluate expectancies, will allow the study of psychosocial factors associated with consumption and provide useful information to develop prevention strategies. Resumo O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar as propriedades psicométricas (estrutura fatorial, consistência interna e validade concorrente) de uma versão adaptada do Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire Adolescents (AEQ-A) em estudantes universitários da cidade de Mar del Plata, Argentina. As expectativas para os efeitos do álcool referem-se às crenças que as pessoas têm sobre os efeitos que produz o consumo de álcool no comportamento, e têm sido relacionadas com o início, a manutenção e os padrões de consumo. Embora tenham sido desenvolvidos vários instrumentos para sua medida, o AEQ-A tem sido um dos mais utilizados; no entanto devido à variabilidade cultural das expectativas, é recomendável realizar adaptações deste aos contextos particulares em estudo. Para este trabalho, utilizou-se uma versão do AEQ-A previamente validada em Mar del Plata, Argentina, que consta de 40 itens medidos numa escala dicotômica (verdadeiro/falso). A amostra esteve composta por 1076 estudantes de Psicologia da Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. Realizaram-se análises fatoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias, nas quais se encontrou uma estrutura de seis fatores que reuniram 37 itens. A consistência interna de cada subescala foi adequada e a validade concorrente foi satisfatóriajá que as pontuações nas subescalas de crenças sobre os efeitos positivos do consumo em situações sociais relacionaram-se com o consumo excessivo episódico. Concluiu-se que contar com instrumentos de avaliação das expectativas permitirá estudar os fatores psicossociais associados ao consumo e dar informação útil para a elaboração de intervenções.

Evidence regarding the association between early drinking (ED) and later dependence is controversial. It has been alternately hypothesized that ED either plays a causal role in the development of dependence or that it is an early marker of increased psychosocial vulnerabilities. Despite a clear rationale for delaying youth consumption, it is important to discern this relationship. However, most epidemiological evidence comes from individual studies and high-income countries. If there is a causal link between ED and dependence, an association at the aggregate level would be expected. Furthermore, if the link is due to biological mechanisms, the association should be rather invariable regardless of the drinking context, while if the association is due to psychosocial factors, a wider variability is to be expected. We explored whether the association between ED and dependence varied across countries clustered by their shared contextual drinking characteristics. We used data from 169 countries from the Global Information System on Alcohol and Health of the World Health Organization: ED, alcohol dependence, heavy episodic drinking (HED), actual drinkers, and alcohol policy. To cluster countries by their shared drinking characteristics (prevalences of HED and actual drinkers, and alcohol policy), we used, sequentially, two multivariate data reduction techniques: a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and a hierarchic classification. To estimate the association between ED and alcohol dependence, beta regressions were performed, and then adjusted by country income-level and repeated by gender. The results indicated four country clusters: primarily abstainers (class 1), low drinking countries (class 2), high drinking countries (class 3), and very high drinking countries (class 4). Positive relationships between ED and alcohol dependence were found for all the countries in the world and for those in classes 1 and 2. No significant relationships were found for class 3 or class 4. These results were similar for males, but not for females, where no significant relationships were found after adjusting for income level. The association between ED and dependence varies according to the drinking context. Our findings either suggest that the ED–dependence association may be due to individual or environmental vulnerabilities that promote consumption outside cultural norms or that, if there is a causal link between ED and dependence, it is strongly moderated by psychosocial characteristics.

Alcohol drinking during pregnancy might lead to detrimental consequences to the mother and fetus, being Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) the most severe. In many Latin-American countries, there is a paucity of information about prenatal exposure to alcohol. Aim. To estimate alcohol drinking in pregnant women and describe it concerning sociodemographic characteristics. Method. Data were collected from a random sample of women attending the public health care system (N=852) in 2016. Alcohol drinking, including binge drinking (BD), was evaluated before and after pregnancy recognition. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed. Results. While pregnant, two out of ten women reported drinking. Moreover, 2% engaged in BD and 3% presented indicators of alcohol dependence. BD before pregnancy was related to drinking during pregnancy and frequency, quantity, and BD before pregnancy with BD during pregnancy. Conclusions. Alcohol consumption in pregnant women was higher than the estimated for most Latin- American countries, and of the considered characteristics, was almost exclusively related to consumption patterns before pregnancy.

El consumo intensivo episódico (CIEA) constituye un problema de salud pública que afecta a los más jóvenes. El estudio de los determinantes cognitivo motivacionales de este patrón de consumo es un área reciente y en creciente desarrollo. Una de las teorías que se ha mostrado adecuada para la explicación de esta conducta es la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado (TCP). Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar la relación entre la intención de CIEA, la actitud, la norma subjetiva y la percepción de control conductual en estudiantes secundarios diferenciándolos por género. Método: La muestra fue intencio-nal, de estudiantes secundarios (n= 185) de la ciudad de Mar del Plata (Argentina) de 12-18 años. Se utilizó un cuestionario que indagaba sobre: patrones de consumo, variables de la TCP, edad y sexo. Se realizaron análisis de regresión jerárquica para varones y mujeres por separado, considerando la intenci-ón como variable dependiente. Resultados: La principal variable que predice la intención de CIEA, tanto para varones como mujeres es la actitud. La norma subjetiva resultó predictora únicamente en mujeres. Conclusiones: las creencias y evaluaciones respecto al CIEA juegan un importante papel en la disposici-ón para realizar el comportamiento. En el caso de las mujeres también incide la norma subjetiva. Si bien este estudio posee algunas limitaciones, sus resultados permiten aproximarse al estudio de los factores cognitivos motivacionales relacionados con el CIEA en adolescentes, de acuerdo al género.

Diferentes modalidades de encuesta han sido desarrolladas para medir el consumo de alcohol y los problemas relacionados. La investigación sobre la calidad de los datos en distintas modalidades de encuesta es escasa en Latinoamérica. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la calidad de los datos sobre consumo de alcohol resultante de tres modalidades de encuesta: auto-administrada online, auto-administrada a papel y lápiz y entrevistas cara a cara. Los datos se obtuvieron de tres muestras probabilísticas (n=60 cada una) de estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina, usando el mismo cuestionario. Para cada modalidad, la calidad de los datos se estimó con la tasa de respuesta global, tasa de respuesta al ítem y la precisión. La precisión fue evaluada con el porcentaje de consumo excesivo episódico, resultado positivo del AUDIT, y consistencia interna del AUDIT. Las tasas de respuesta global y al ítem fueron menores en la modalidad online, y similares en las restantes dos. No se encontraron diferencias en la precisión de las respuestas entre las modalidades. Different survey modalities have been developed to assess alcohol consumption and related problems. Research that compares data quality between survey modalities is scarce in Latin America. The aim of this study was to assess data quality in three survey modalities on alcohol consumption: self-administered online, self-administered hard-copy, and face-to-face interviews. Data were obtained from three probabilistic samples of students (n = 60 each) from the National University of Mar del Plata, Argentina, using the same questionnaire. Data quality was measured for each modality by overall response rate, item response rate, and accuracy. Data accuracy was evaluated as the percentage of self-reported binge drinking, positive results on AUDIT, and internal consistency of AUDIT for each modality. The overall and item response rates were lower in the online modality and similar between the other two. No differences were found between modalities in the accuracy of responses.

According to the dual process model, the interaction between explicit (controlled) and implicit (automatic) cognitions would allow the understanding of irrational actions like addictive behaviors. This model has gained great popularity among addiction researchers, leading to an exponential growth in publications on implicit alcohol related cognition (IAC). Hence, the goal of this article is to identify trends in the study of IAC by means of a bibliometric and content analysis of the empirical studies published up to May, 2013. Throughout this paper, the studied topics of IAC were characterized, the most prolific countries, authors and journals were recognized, the most cited publications were detected and the most employed methods were identified.

Background: Alcohol consumption and its related consequences are not equal for women and men, although related studies do not frequently include gender analysis. Objective: Our aim was to characterize differences in endorsement of ICD-10 and DSM 5 alcohol use disorder (AUD) criteria by gender in an Argentinean emergency department population. Methods: A probability sample of patients (N = 923) from the largest emergency department in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina (44% were females, aged 16 to 86, M (SD) = 37.31(15.20) was collected. Using a structured questionnaire, diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorders, alcohol consumption, and socio-demographic variables were obtained. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess differences in the endorsement of each diagnostic criterion by gender. Results: Women were less likely to endorse each of the criteria for each of the diagnostic schemes. Even after controlling alcohol consumption, socio-demographic variables, severity of alcohol use disorders and adjusting for multiple comparisons females had a lower probability than males of endorsing withdrawal and impaired control. Conclusions: gender differences in the endorsement of diagnostic criteria for both the DSM 5 and ICD-10 were found. Some differences in endorsement but not all, might be partially explained by alcohol consumption patterns and socio-demographic factors, and same remained after controlling severity of the AUD. Results also suggest a differential functioning of DSM 5 and ICD-10 AUD criteria for women and men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Since its emergence in the 70s, the Dual Process Model (DPM) has gained wide popularity in different fields of psychology, including the study of addictions. According to this model, there are two cognitive systems: one explicit, conscious and controllable; and another implicit, automatic and linked to intuition and affection. The DPM has been used to understand mechanisms underlying alcohol related behaviors, and quickly an exponential growth of research using implicit measures to evaluate alcohol related cognitions occurred. While these methods share some basic features, they differ in important aspects such as validity evidence available, administration procedures, etc. Therefore, in this paper we provide a comprehensive overview of the different ways to evaluate implicit alcohol related cognitions. We hope this review will be useful not only for researchers but also for professionals working in the clinical area with alcohol- related problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La exposición prenatal al alcohol en Argentina es extremadamente alta, por lo que se deben maximizar los esfuerzos para evitar los efectos detrimentales en la madre y el feto. En este trabajo se presentarán dos estudios experimentales cuyo objetivo fue evaluar la eficacia, factibilidad y aceptación cultural de la Intervención Breve (IB) para promover la abstinencia de alcohol durante la gestación. Además se describirá la prevalencia de consumo de alcohol durante la gestación y la eficacia de la evaluación y recomendación de tratamiento especializado en las mujeres con indicadores de trastornos por uso de alcohol. Participaron 882 mujeres gestantes durante el año 2016. Aquellas no abstemias ni en tratamiento por uso de sustancias psicoactivas, con menos de 26 semanas de gestación (n=485) fueron asignadas aleatoriamente a uno de dos grupos: evaluación e IB o evaluación y consejo breve (CB). Un re-test fue conducido tres meses más tarde. Las mujeres con más de 26 semanas de gestación fueron evaluadas como un grupo control adicional (CPH; n=154). El consumo de alcohol fue evaluado con el AUDIT, la factibilidad con los minutos de ejecución de la IB y la aceptabilidad con preguntas construidas ad hoc. Se obtuvieron indicadores de salubridad de los recién nacidos de las madres de los grupos IB (n= 77), CB (n= 68) y de un grupo control externo (CE) de recién nacidos cuyas madres no participaron de la evaluación (n= 150). Se realizaron análisis descriptivos para estimar la prevalencia de consumo de alcohol, la factibilidad y aceptabilidad de la IB. Para determinar la eficacia de la IB se realizaron regresiones logísticas multinomiales, regresiones logísticas binarias y análisis de significancia clínica. Los indicadores de los recién nacidos se compararon utilizando la prueba de los rangos de Wilcoxon. Los resultados mostraron que el 24% de las participantes consumía alcohol al momento de la entrevista. Con respecto a la eficacia de la IB y el CB, a los tres meses, la IB resultó seis veces más eficaz (p = .001, OR = 6.36, [IC95% = 3 - 13]), y el CB cuatro veces más eficaz (p = .001, OR = 4.39, [IC95% = 2 - 8]) para reducir el consumo de alcohol luego de confirmar la gestación o mantener la abstinencia de alcohol, que la atención regular de los centros de atención primaria de la salud del municipio de General Pueyrredon (MGP) representada en el grupo CPH. No se hallaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos IB y CB en la reducción del consumo de alcohol, pero sí en los análisis de significancia clínica. Se registraron diferencias en relación al peso al nacer (p < .05) y la edad gestacional al nacer (p < .001) entre los grupos IB y CB comparados con el CE. La IB demoró en promedio 10 minutos y fue aceptada por un gran número de mujeres. Las participantes con indicadores de TUA redujeron su consumo incluso hasta la abstinencia a los tres meses, luego de la evaluación. Conclusiones: este estudio aporta evidencia sobre la IB, un recurso que ha demostrado ser eficaz para reducir el riesgo de presentar exposición prenatal al alcohol y algunas de las consecuencias detrimentales para el feto asociadas a ello. Además ha sido bien aceptado por el contexto local y sería factible de ser implementado en los centros de atención pública a la salud del MGP. Prenatal alcohol exposure in Argentina is extremely high, so efforts must be taken to prevent detrimental effects on the mother and the fetus. In this work, two experimental studies will be presented whose objective was to evaluate the efficacy, feasibility and cultural acceptance of Brief Intervention (BI) to promote alcohol abstinence during pregnancy. Furthermore, the prevalence of alcohol consumption during pregnancy will be described, and the efficacy of the evaluation and recommendation of specialized treatment on women with alcohol use disorders (AUD). 882 pregnant women participated in 2016. Women who weren´t abstainers, nor where in treatment for psychoactive substances and with less than 26 weeks pregnant (n= 485) were randomly assigned to two groups: evaluation and BI or evaluation and brief advice (BA). A re-test was conducted three months later. Women who were more than 26 weeks pregnant were evaluated as a post hoc control group (PHG; n=154). Alcohol consumption was evaluated with the AUDIT, feasibility with BI implementation time in minutes and acceptability with questions constructed ad hoc. Newborns health indicators born from mothers of BI (n= 77) and BA (n= 68) groups and from an external control group (CG) of newborns born from mothers who did not participate in the evaluation (n= 150) were obtained. Descriptive analysis to estimate alcohol consumption prevalence, feasibility and BI acceptability where performed. To estimate BI efficacy multinomial logistic regression, binary logistic regression and clinical significance analysis where carried out. Health newborn indicators where compared using the Wilcoxon range test. Results show that 24% of participants were consuming alcohol at the moment of the interview. Regarding BI and BA efficacy, three months later BI proved to be six times more efficient (p = .001, OR = 6.36, [IC95% = 3 - 13]), and BA four times more efficient (p = .001, OR = 4.39, [IC95% = 2 - 8]) to reduce alcohol consumption after pregnancy was confirmed or to maintain alcohol abstinence than regular medical advice from the primary health centers from General Pueyrredon municipality (GPM) represented by PHG group. No statistically significant differences were found between BI and BA groups in alcohol consumption reduction, but meaningful clinical significance analysis was found. Differences regarding newborns birth weight (p < .05) and gestational age (p < .001) between BI and BA groups compared with the CG where found. BI lasted 10 minutes on average and was accepted by the great majority of pregnant women. Three months later after BI, participants with AUD indicators had reduced their alcohol consumption even to abstinence. Conclusions: This study provides evidence over an instrument, BI, that reduces the risk to present alcohol prenatal exposure and some of its detrimental consequences on the fetus. Besides, it has been well accepted by the local context and it will be feasible to implement it in public primary health centers in GPM. Fil: Lichtenberger, Aldana.
