Taneepanichskul S Objective: The present study aimed to test the result of Tailored Goal oriented Community Brief Intervention Model (TGCBI)
the change of Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) scores.
Material and Method: A quasi-experimental research comparing between two high drinking prevalence communities in Lop
Buri Province, Thailand, an intervention group with TGCBI Model, and a control group without TGCBI. The TGCBI is a
treatment that lies on three components. Firstly, the TGCBI based on FRAMES consisting of Feedback, Responsibility, Advice,
Menu of Option, Empathy, and Self-Efficacy. Secondly, drinkers must voluntarily set-up their goal and drinking reduction
design suitable for them and their community. Lastly, key informants such as monks, health personnel, family, and friends can
be a source to complete the FRAMES.
Measurement: Measurements are done using AUDIT scores.
Results: Fifty subjects in control and forty-seven in intervention drinkers completing 1, 3, and 6 monthly intervals were
followed-up. The follow-up of the change of AUDIT score after 1,3, and 6 months of TGCBI in the two communities showed
that intervention community, with TGCBI had a decrease in AUDIT score when compared within its community and with a
controlled community.
Conclusion: The results proved TGCBI model is effective in AUDIT reduction.
