Under the radar: a cross-sectional study of the challenge of identifying at-risk alcohol consumption in the general practice setting

Given the complexities associated with establishing whether alcohol consumption is 'at-risk', computer-based approaches to routine screening of patients are worthy of exploration as a method for prompting the provision of advice in primary care.
