To demonstrate the impact of health consequences feedback on patients willingness to accept advice about drinking.
281 patients identified as hazardous drinkers were offered advice about alcohol consumption. During the experimental period patients' were given feedback as to the health consequences.
Introduction of feedback led to a 23% increase in the proportion of patients who were willing to accept brief advice.
Feedback provision should be included as part of Screening and Brief intervention programmes to increase the number of patients that may benefit from an intervention.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 September 2009.
All research outputs
#8,128,332
of 24,378,498 outputs
Outputs from Emergency Medicine Journal
#2,353
of 4,476 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#18,208
of 52,794 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Emergency Medicine Journal
#5
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,378,498 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,476 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.0. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 52,794 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
