Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Adults with mild to moderate learning disabilities aged 18 years who are known to professionals within the learning disabilities services as possibly having an alcohol problem will be eligible to be referred to the study. Once found to be eligible to take part, they will be further assessed with the WASI to assess their level of cognitive functioning (unless results from a previous cognitive assessment are available). Once consented to participate, they will be screened using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT).
- •1\. AUDIT score \>8 and up to 19\. We appreciate that the NICE (18\) advice is to reduce scores in particular populations in which prevalence of AUD is lower than the general population such as older people, females and younger people. Local data, however, suggests that the prevalence of AUD in the local population with mild to moderate learning disability in contact with treatment services using AUDIT 8 as the cut\-off point is 22\.5%, which is similar to the prevalence in the general population. Therefore, we have decided to adopt the same cut\-off AUDIT score as in the general population and to consider any changes, e.g. lowering the cut\-off, following the findings from the study.
- •2\. Residents in the area within the last 12 months.
- •3\. Full Scale IQ\<70 (\+/5% CI).
- •4\. Target Gender: Male \& Female; Upper Age Limit 65 years; Lower Age Limit 18 years
Exclusion Criteria
- •1\. Severe to profound learning disabilities
- •2\. Non\-English speaking
- •3\. Receipt of treatment for alcohol\-related problems in the last 12 months
- •4\. Severe and enduring mental illness
