Audit-C for health professionals

What is this research about?

This project aims to promote the implementation of the Audit-C instrument by developing a training package to support health professionals to provide effective screening and brief intervention for alcohol use during pregnancy based on the content from the already developed midwives training package.

Research Objectives

• To adapt the AUDIT-C instrument and midwives training package for use by other health professionals in the antenatal care setting.
• To evaluate the revised training resource for health professionals to support implementation of routine screening and brief intervention for alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
• Develop and create a series of short videos for aiding a pre-recorded webinar incorporating feedback from a small group of Key Informants.
• To assess the acceptability and effectiveness of the Audit-C instrument and interactive training resource with health professionals delivering the intervention in antenatal settings
