Using Participatory Design to adapt and adjust “the 15-method: A Novel Innovation for Treating Alcohol Overuse in General Practice” to the Danish culture and context of General Practice.

Beskrivelse

Background
The 15-method was developed and tested in Sweden as a new innovation for treating alcohol overuse in primary care. A Danish feasibility study of the 15-method in primary care has recently been conducted and proved that the rationale behind the 15-method was feasible, but also that some adjustments were needed. Based on results from this feasibility study, an adjustment of the method to Danish primary care and a large-scale testing of the methods’ effectiveness will be undertaken.
Materials and methods
Adjustment of the method to a Danish setting has been conducted using a participatory design approach with user involvement of citizens and healthcare professionals to address user needs along with barriers and facilitators for addressing alcohol problems in primary care. The effectiveness of the adjusted 15-method will be tested in a stepped-wedge cluster randomized control trial with randomization of participating general practices and a non-randomized patient population.
Results
Results from the participatory design studies adjusting and adapting the 15-method into Danish context will be presented at the conferences. An overview of the large-scale randomized control trial of the 15-methods’ effectiveness will also be presented.
Conclusion
Cultural and logistical adjustments to the 15-method are being addressed prior to large-scale implementation and testing.
