Objectives: To investigate the understanding of Family Health Doctors of the Region of Middle Solimões (Amazon) on several aspects of the problematic of alcohol abuse. Methods: An observational, descriptive and qualitative study in an intentional sample of six Family Health Doctors. Data was collected by means of two focus groups, using a set of interviews. Data were assessed using thematic analysis from the references of the principles of Brazil´s Unified Health System (SUS) and the training of health manpower. Results: Data indicate that the professionals have identified risk factors for the problem, showed knowledge about the consequences of this consumption for the individual and society and were able to describe the criteria used by the systems of classification of diseases; however, they did not know how to act on this issue within Primary Care. Conclusion: There is a need for mechanisms of continuing education for these professionals, addressing topics such as the problematic of alcohol abuse, its management and intervention in Primary Care.Downloads
