Abstract:

Introduction: The SHAHRP program was effective reducing drinking and alcohol- harmsin Australia, but cross-cultural adaptation is required before replication. This study aimed at assessing the feasibility of SHAHRP in Brazil focused on implementation and acceptability. Methods:A mixed-methodsdesign was used: quantitative for implementing the program and evaluation and qualitative for acceptability.The quantitative design was a pilot of a randomized controlled trial. Private schools were randomly divided into four intervention (n=160) and four control (n=188) schools. Student\'s mean age was 12.7 years. The fidelity of implementation and likely outcome measures were assessed.Qualitative data on acceptability were provided by students and teachers. Results: The percentage of implementation varied62.5% to 87.5%. Behaviours such as alcohol-harms requiresa larger cohort and longer follow-up to be adequately evaluated. The risk reduction approach and activities had good acceptabilitystudents and teachers. Quantitative and qualitative outcomes on knowledge and decision-making indicatedpossible improvement in SHAHRP schools.Conclusions: The program is feasible and well accepted in a Brazilian setting, opening the way for a more comprehensive evaluation and dissemination.
