Adjusting the 15-method to Danish general practice: a participatory design approach.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe 15-method is a primary healthcare tool for opportunistic screening and brief intervention for alcohol-related problems. A Danish feasibility test of the 15-method suggested that adjustments might enhance its fit to Danish general practice. This study reports on user-involving workshops aimed at refining a Danish version of the 15-method.
methodsUsing a participatory design approach, we conducted iterative cycles of planning, user workshops, evaluating and revising design. Workshops engaged five general practitioners, three nurses, four patients, four researchers, a project manager, a graphics designer and a behavioral design specialist. Through prototyping and scenario enacting, participants co-developed solutions to improve the 15-method's structure and usability. Prototypes were field tested and evaluated.
resultsThe 15-method's treatment step was shortened from four consultations to three by re-structuring of the patient material and increasing flexibility in transitioning from screening to treatment. A quick guide was developed as a shared reference for patients and healthcare professionals, alongside visual aids such as flyers and posters. The healthcare manual was re-designed for flexibility and updated to include varied screening approaches. Field testing confirmed that these adjustments enhanced usability and interdisciplinary collaboration.
conclusionThe participatory design process effectively refined the 15-method for Danish general practice. Future studies will assess the effectiveness of the adapted version on a larger scale.
