Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The new National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance cites genitourinary (GU) medicine clinics as one setting where screening for alcohol-use disorders should be part of routine clinical practice. Northumberland GU medicine service has routinely used the Fast Alcohol Screening Tool (FAST) since June 2009. An audit of all first attendees to the service in April 2010 (n = 256) was carried out. This audit found that the FAST questionnaire was acceptable to both patients and staff (uptake of 95.7%). Statistically significant associations between excessive alcohol and higher rates of unprotected sex (P < 0.01), an increased number of sexual partners (P < 0.01) and higher rates of sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis (P < 0.05) were also demonstrated. |
