Summary
This study tests a 5-week community-based program that teaches protective behavioral strategies to reduce alcohol use in men aged 35–44 with hazardous drinking habits in rural Vietnam. Participants learn to set safe drinking limits, choose nonalcoholic drinks, and plan ahead, with SMS reminders to reinforce skills. The trial compares the program to usual care, measuring changes in alcohol consumption and related problems at 1 and 3 months after the program ends.

What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a low-cost, community-based approach to reduce harmful drinking and related problems in men.
