Screening and Following Up Harmful Alcohol Use “… is Not Necessarily Your Primary Focus”: A Qualitative Study Exploring Health Professionals’ Experiences Addressing Harmful Alcohol Use in a Norwegian Hospital
This study highlights tensions between alcohol-related harm and alcohol-related norms as these pertain to screening and following up harmful and hazardous alcohol use in a Norwegian hospital. Results suggest training should focus on zero alcohol recommendations, the use of assessment tools, the acceptability of screening to patients and "clear and simple" patient follow-up procedures.
