The Efficacy of Two Brief Intervention Strategies Among Injured, At-Risk Drinkers in the Emergency Department: Impact of Tailored Messaging and Brief Advice

Abstract

This was the first large-scale, brief intervention trial that included development and testing of computerized, highly tailored interventions with injured drinkers in the ED. ED-based interventions for alcohol problems would benefit from computerized screening, brief advice, and booklets to positively impact risky drinking practices.
