Recommendations for implementing digital alcohol interventions in primary care: lessons learned from a Norwegian feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Excessive alcohol consumption is a leading global risk factor for ill-health and premature death. Digital alcohol interventions can be effective at reducing alcohol consumption, but their widespread adoption is lagging behind. This study aimed to identify factors promoting or inhibiting the implementation of a digital alcohol intervention in Norwegian primary care, by using Normalization Process Theory (NPT).
