The FRAMES Approach

Common Elements of a Brief Intervention

Feedback

Personal Feedback about the risks associated with continued drinking based on current drinking patterns, problem indicators, and health status.


Responsibility

Emphasis on the individual’s personal Responsibility and choice to reduce drinking behavior.


Advice

Clear Advice about the importance of changing current drinking patterns.


Menu

A Menu of alternative change options. This emphasises the individual’s choice to reduce drinking patterns and allows them to choose the approach best suited to their own situation.


Empathy

Empathy from the person providing the intervention is an important determinant of client motivation and change. A warm, reflective and understanding brief intervention is more effective than an aggressive, confrontational or coercive style.

Self-efficacy

Self-efficacy involves instilling optimism in the client that their chosen goals can be achieved. It is in this step, in particular, that motivation-enhancing techniques are used to encourage clients to develop, implement and commit to plans to stop drinking.
