Description
Statement of Purpose for the Guide:
Workplaces are underutilized for the delivery of alcohol prevention and early intervention programs. Yet,they offer the opportunity to reach people in a place where they spend most of their day. Workplace
resources including employee assistance programs, health promotion and wellness programming, and occupational health and safety clinics are ideal settings to identify and intervene. The purpose of this guide is to present promising, feasible approaches to implementing evidence-based alcohol screening and brief intervention (SBI) methods in work-related settings. The processes and
protocols are designed specifically for the following types of workplace professionals: employee assistance professionals (delivering services telephonically through centralized call centers or onsite in-person services); occupational health and safety staff (delivering in-person medical services, physical exams, and health screens); health promotion and wellness practitioners (delivering health promotion
program offerings, educational/awareness outreach, automated screening, health risk assessments), and administrators of alcohol/drug testing programs. The development of this
guide was also informed and supported by members of the Ensuring Solutions Workplace SBI Product
Development Work Group consisting of employers, employee assistance and behavioral healthcare
vendors, and vendors of alcohol/drug services, representatives from government agencies and
professional groups, experts, researchers, and clinicians.
The guide is divided into sections for ease of reviewing and synthesizing screening and brief intervention
techniques. Each section is based on the best scientific evidence available. Materials and resources are
available throughout the guide and in the Resources section.
