[At-risk drinking screening by general practitioners: A survey of patients in primary care].

CONCLUSION: This study showed a low general practitioner screening rate of their patients' at-risk drinking. Only a minority of patients, including at-risk drinkers, declared that their general practitioner was aware of their level of alcohol consumption. Screening could be improved by being systematized during initial consultations and regularly scheduled during subsequent visits, especially in at-risk situations.
