Impact of a Brief Motivational Interview on Drinking Behaviors of At Risk Drinkers Screened in the Emergency Room
Completed · Phase 3
Conditions studied: Alcohol Abuse
In brief
Alcohol abuse is associated with injury, chronic illness, absenteeism from work, and social costs to families and communities. The goal of this project is to translate motivational interventions successful in the primary care setting to the Emergency Department (ED) environment by implementing screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in order to reduce at-risk drinking among ED patients.
