Summary
This study tested a stepped care system (screening, brief advice, and referral to treatment) to help reduce unhealthy alcohol and drug use among 400 Congolese refugees and local community members in Zambia. Participants were people living in the Mantapala settlement who had risky drinking habits. The program aimed to lower alcohol use and improve mental health, but does not offer a cure—it focuses on managing substance use problems.
