Intervention
The intervention had two components, of which the first was based on co-creation. During this component, HR personnel and the management team within each organization improved their organization’s alcohol policy, and thereafter drafted an implementation plan together with Alna.In terms of the second component, managers (including, e.g. supervisors and team leaders) completed a two-part workshop with Alna, conducted in one day or two half-days. The first part aimed to increase managers’ knowledge regarding alcohol use in the workplace and its consequences, whereas the second part aimed to improve managers’ skills in identifying the early signs of hazardous alcohol use, and increase managers’ confidence to have difficult discussions with their employees. A detailed description of the intervention can be found in the study protocol [Both components of APMaT were delivered at the organizational level, where the program was assumed to have been implemented to some degree within the current study period. Therefore, this study was operationalized under the assumption that both intervention components have had some effects on the outcome measures at the employee level.
