The use of alcohol is a prevalent phenomenon among adolescents. Several brief intervention strategies have been developed to prevent the progression of alcohol use to high-risk levels. The consumer profile, including whether they have consumed one or more substances, may be a key variable in analyzing the effectiveness of interventions.This study consists in a secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial (PREVENALC) to examine the effectiveness of a brief intervention based on the Guided Self-Change Program (GSC) and its interaction with substance use profile. Participants were the 629 students in the experimental arm of PREVENALC who received the GSC and completed the pretest, posttest, and 6-moth follow-up measures.Eliminado: Effectiveness of a brief intervention based on the Guided Self-Change Program and its interaction with consumer profiles in the Intervention Arm of a Trial to reduce alcohol consumption among Spanish students.
