<p dir="ltr">The Alcohol ABC Approach (i.e. Ask about alcohol use, give Brief advice, and offer Counselling or other help for alcohol if needed) is a model which enables front-line health and social workers to have conversations with patients/clients about alcohol. This report outlines the findings of an evaluation of a project which aimed to adapt, implement, and refine the Alcohol ABC Approach with social workers at Family Success Matters, a Social Service Agency in South Auckland. The project was a collaborative partnership between Counties Manukau Health and Family Success Matters and was funded by Te Hiringa Hauora/Health Promotion Agency.</p>
