  2. Most significant advances in PHC since 1st January 2000 •  interest by the medical associations in co-operating to the implementation of a few specific training programs for GPs • interest by the local health authorities in co-organising training programs for PHC professionals on the subject of identification and management of alcohol risk and problems among their clients • the “pilot” design of an early detection strategy (IPREDA/ISS) in collaboration with GPs to be further tested and evaluated in a demonstration project (PRISMA) involving public and private partners at the community level

  3. Barriers and challenges in implementation in 2003-2004 • lack of financial incentives  for GPs  • lack of a specific National/Regional programme for general practice and PHC        • co-operation among addiction services and formalised linkage with GPs still to be promoted    • lack of "evaluated" results to prove the efficacy of the pilot chosen strategy   • the idea of process, evaluate and evaluate effective HP strategies by health authorities and administrators is still missing     

  4. Key advances we would like to see in 2003-2004 in Italy • a specific policy early detection and brief intervention for GPs and PHC settings • training courses in the alcohol field for GPs and PHC professionals  • Harmonised implementation studies for the management of alcohol use disorders  • co-operation among the relevant Alcohol Centres   

  5. To make them possible we need • Support and solicit the political willingness to share the responsibility of the prevention and management of AR problems        • Regional or national funds    • Contribute to share a common perspective among the Italian relevant Alcohol Centres
