ABSTRACT Brief Intervention (BI) is considered an effective tool to reduce alcohol use. The present study evaluates the active ingredients present in the BI’s applied in university servers, analyzes the servers’ perception regarding these principles. It is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study. Twenty-four civil servants were interviewed, who made alcohol consumption considered risky through AUDIT, and who received the BI. The data analysis was structural, thematic and double-blind with a synthesis judge. The BI principles that most influenced the participants concerning the change in consumption were feedback, empathy, and counseling. Most respondents felt encouraged to reduce alcohol consumption after BI.
