- Title
THE ROLE OF MEDICAL ASSISTANT IN IDENTIFICATION AND INTERVENTION IN CASE OF INDIVIDUALS AT RISK OF HARMFUL ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION.
- Authors

- Abstract
Early alcohol detection refers to the identification of individuals with mild to moderate alcohol consumption before the onset of medical consequences. Rapid intervention involves between 1 and 5 sessions in which the patient is informed of the consequences of abusive alcohol consumption without having to refer to a specialist. This system of short intervention has been found to be effective because the patient is rapidly receiving information and, on the other hand, many patients refuse to be sent to a specialist or a specialized psychotherapist. The paper presents a staged perspective on how the nurse may be actively involved in early detection of harmful alcohol consumption through AUDIT Test.
