At the population level, screening and brief intervention (BI) is the most cost-effective method to reduce the burden of disease due to hazardous alcohol use. In delivering BI at individual level, trained workforce as well as time is a limiting factor. Hence, a study was conducted to assess the outcome of a "modified brief intervention" program delivered at workplace in a group setting for the participants identified with hazardous alcohol use pattern, as a secondary prevention measure.
