Alcohol Use
Primary care providers can play a critical role in reducing alcohol-related morbidity and mortality.
This toolkit provides practical information on screening, assessing and managing patients who are trying to quit or reduce their drinking. There are links to other professional resources, including best practice guidelines and patient information materials, including self-help resources. It includes information on alcohol use during pregnancy, and alcohol use for older adults.
