AB - Institute of Public Health of Serbia (IPHS) is developing new function related to better monitoring of alcohol related diseases and injuries, actions focusing on alcohol as a lifestyle related factor using integrated strategic approaches for both population and individual risk reduction. In that regard the long term objective of the IPHS is to study, monitor, promote and safeguard public health--from the point of view of mental health and alcohol abuse--by means of research, development and the provision of expert services. Starting point in the aforementioned need for the capacity building in the area of mental health and alcohol abuse is the Program of education of general practitioners (GPs) in primary health care settings for identification and diagnosis of alcoholism. This is because GPs have the widest contact with the general population. Their education related to recognition of alcohol abuse and appropriate diagnostic tools application is first, but very important step in providing direction of the health service and other sectors for problem solving and would bring the largest benefit for the whole population. In the year 2010 National program against alcohol abuse and alcoholism will be developed. Program of education of GPs is very important complementary activity which outcome will have great impact on the National program implementation.
