Abstract

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the link between organizational climate and strategies to prevent alcohol consumption, among 97 Primary Health Care professionals. The organizational climate was measured by means of a scale involving the following factors: decision-making, chaos/stress and communication. Prevention activities were measured using AUDIT (screening test) and brief interventions carried out in the six-month period following the on-site qualification. The Spearman test was used, with a 95% level of confidence, to assess correlation. The results showed a correlation between brief intervention and Decision Making (p=0.337; p= 0.001) and Communication (p=0.281; p=0.005). The number of AUDITs applied were also related to DM (p=0.288; p=0.004) and Communication (p=0.215; p=0.035). The results suggest that environments with better perceptions of Organizational Climate can enhance the prevention of alcohol use in Primary Health Care.
