Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of two workplace interventions (the Riskbruk model and Balance) in reducing risky alcohol consumption, sickness absence and presenteeism. The purpose is to assess whether the Riskbruk model should be implemented in the Norwegian workforce in its entirety, whether the less extensive and costly alternative Balance is sufficient, or if neither one of them show effectiveness compared to usual care.
