The Sandwell multi-agency management group for high impact problem drinkers – interim evaluation
Conclusion
Overall, this evaluation suggests that:
The multi-agency Blue Light process offers the potential for a significant return on investment, with modest up-front investment.
The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the approach is measurable.
Client benefit is significant and demonstrable through evidence of engagement with substance misuse services.
The interviews and survey also showed that adopting Blue Light led to:
Improved joint working between agencies.
Opportunities to challenge poor practice.
Support to commissioners to identify unmet need, and gaps and blockages in care pathways.

‘Wet’ care homes for older people with refractory alcohol problems: A qualitative study
Conclusion
Placement in wet care homes is expensive, but they can have positive outcomes for individuals whose needs cannot be met elsewhere. Costs may be offset by a reduction in the use of other health, social and criminal justice services. Future research and service monitoring should include economic analysis.

Self-Affirmation-Based Enhancement of Risks/Harms-Feedback (SABER-F): First steps in the development of a novel theory-led internet intervention for heavy drinkers.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that self-affirmation effects in harmful/hazardous drinkers – at least when examined through a web-based procedure in university students – may depend on gender. Theory-consistent effects were seen on some measures in men, although women showed an unexpected reduction in intention to drink less. Future research on self-affirmation among heavy drinkers should examine gender effects, and determine whether potentially counter-productive effects are reliably observed amongst women.
