  1. Wulf Livingston Glyndwr University Grasping the Nettle - Birmingham May 2012 Choosing from the range of IBA tools –A guide for the busy professional

  2. Watch the Rabbits • The one that’s there • The one you encouraged to use • The one others use • The one that makes sense for you setting • The one you like • More than one in different contexts

  3. The small print • The appropriateness of initiatives will vary from one local area to another and inclusion of local initiatives, or actions, on this site does not represent endorsement by the Alcohol Learning Centre or Department of Health

  4. Relax • There maybe no need, the likelihood is • –it is already there and/or • - (you have no choice), you just need to find out what is already being used

  5. Why use a specific tool • Identification • Communication – like for like • Referral Criteria

  6. NICE • Health and social care, criminal justice and community and voluntary sector professionals in both NHS and non-NHS settings who regularly come into contact with people who may be at risk of harm from the amount of alcohol they drink. • Use validated screening tools appropriate to the setting, for example the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Where time is limited they can use an abbreviated version such as AUDIT-Consumption (AUDIT-C). The Fast Alcohol Screening Test (FAST), the Paddington Alcohol Test (PAT) or Single Alcohol Screening Questionnaire (SASQ) may be more appropriate for an emergency department setting.

  7. DAAT (Dug and Alcohol Action Team)Led Tools • Birmingham DAAT uses AUDIT Distinguishes with a score of 19 A-Team or Aquarius/Nursing Team • DAATs – have alcohol –leads, strategies • Mindful of language – tools, screening, brief advice, extended brief intervention (what roles are being identified for your agency)

  8. Buzy Bees • Babies, Bowels, Benefits • Why not booze

  9. Suit the setting • If you consistently work with one agency or one client group, then there maybe a specific tool they prefer (common language and understanding) • A & E and other clinical setting –FAST (or PAT, MASQ) • Probation –AUDIT full (*) • G-MAST/G-MAST long for Older Peoples Drinking Clinical/Health –Partial Social (Time) -Full Young People
