BRIEF INTERVENTIONS FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE IN LATIN AMERICA: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the literature for brief interventions in Latin America. Methods: We searched articles that were published between 2005 and 2016. Results: After removing duplicates and applying exclusion criteria, 29 studies were evaluated. The number of sessions, length, and definition of brief intervention varied across studies as well as the instruments used to assess substance use and participant characteristics. Conclusions: Even though brief interventions are adopted in many countries in Latin America, research was conducted only in 5 countries. In these countries, there was great heterogeneity on research methods, instruments and the type of brief intervention.
