Computerized Alcohol Misuse Intervention System for Health Care

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Alcoholism

In brief

This project expands upon the proof-of-concept work done under the pilot project in order to get Interventionaire© poised for more widespread use. Interventionaire© is designed to deploy a computerized interactive questionnaire to patients in a physician waiting room. The information gathered is intended to be a conversation starter for primary care providers and patients (who may feel more at ease with the computer in revealing health risk behaviors, like alcohol abuse). Widespread use of Interventionaire© could result in a substantial cost savings by delivering a wide reaching and highly acceptable prevention strategy for integrating risky health behavior screening and brief intervention into mainstream medical practice.The investigators overall hypothesis is that participants receiving the computerized intervention will have greater improvement than those receiving the attention control condition.
