Parallel group individually randomised controlled trial (RCT) with stratified (by severity of drinking problem) randomisation into intervention and control arms. Aim is to test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Coordinated Care for Alcohol Problems (CCAP) for the whole spectrum of drinking problems in primary care in Goa, India. Primary outcome is the drinking outcome of percentage days abstinent (PDA) at three months post randomisation. Secondary outcomes include drinking outcomes (PDA at six- and 12- months post-randomisation; percentage days heavy drinking (PDHD), intensity of drinking and remission) and drinking related outcomes (e.g., injuries, violence) at three-, six- and 12- months post- randomisation. Participants will include consenting adult (>18 years) men with drinking problems attending Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) and Community Healthcare Centres (CHCs) in Goa and have drinking problems defined as scoring >8 on the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). CCAP is a multi-component evidence-informed complex intervention package for coordinating treatment for all levels of problem drinking (hazardous, harmful, dependent). For hazardous drinking, it includes Mobile based Brief Intervention Treatment (M-BIT), which is a mobile-messaging brief intervention delivered via WhatsApp over eight weeks using multimedia content including contextually relevant messages, images and videos. For harmful drinking, it includes Counselling for Alcohol Problems Plus (CAP+) which is Counselling for Alcohol Problems (CAP), an evidence-based brief psychological treatment, integrated with strategies to enhance treatment engagement (entry into and completion). For dependent drinking, it includes Community Orientated Treatment for Alcohol Dependence (CONTAD) which is supervised home-detoxification over a week followed by a psychological treatment to prevent relapse, both integrated with treatment engagement strategies. CAP+ and CONTAD will be delivered in the community by non-specialist health workers (NSHW).
