7th Conference of INEBRIA

The 7th annual INEBRIA conference will take place at Scandic Opalen on 9th - 10th September 2010. (View conference flyer)

Organizing committee:

Fredrik Spak, chair, associate professor of social medicine, Sahlgren Academy, University of Gothenburg.
Preben Bendtsen, professor of social medicine, Linköping University
Karin Mossberg, conference secretary, Sahlgren Academy, University of Gothenburg.
Hanna Reinholdz, junior research associate, Sahlgren Academy, University of Gothenburg.

Conference programme:

The conference aims to present new ground in theory, research and implementation of early intervention and brief intervention (EIBI) for alcohol use disorders and risky drinking. The effectiveness of SBI (screening and brief intervention) in primary health care is well established and evidence for its effectiveness in other settings is promising. At the same time, significant advances in the practical implementation of EIBI are being made in various parts of the world. However, other possibilities of EIBI are under-utilised in settings such as mother health care, child health care, the social sector etc. Some geographical areas such as the Nordic countries and Catalonia have proceeded from implementation of EIBI to national institutionalization. This raises new important research and practical issues.

Please have a look at the final programme.

Pre-conference:

In addition to the main conference, there will be one pre-conference symposium on the 8th of September. The pre-conference symposium on implementation will give a critical overview of theories concerning implementation of new innovations/methods and three specific models will be discussed for planning of transfer of knowledge to the health care system.
The participants will receive an e-mail with three scientific articles before the conference in order to prepare themselves for a group discussion where three models will be applied to common means of brief alcohol intervention. The discussion will help understanding which theory based strategies that might be useful to apply in order to facilitate implementation of brief alcohol interventions
The symposium aims at answering how we can be spread and sustain brief alcohol interventions into health care in an effective way.
