Summary

The aims of the study are to develop and refine tailored motivational brief interventions that are parallel in structure but have varied delivery modalities (computer vs. therapist) for patients with at-risk or problematic alcohol use, and to conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of these BI approaches (CBI, TBI, control) on subsequent alcohol consumption and alcohol consequences, including alcohol-related injury, mental and physical-health functioning, and HIV risk behaviors at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-ED visit.

Conditions

  • Alcohol Abuse

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CBI

The multimedia, interactive Computer Brief Intervention (CBI) condition will be delivered using tablet computers. The content and format will be easily negotiated by participants. The 30-minute interventions are designed to address the primary target behavior of alcohol use, and will include a tailored review of participants' goals/values, feedback regarding their present alcohol use patterns and consequences (either actual experiences or potential based on risk behaviors), developing a discrepancy between their alcohol use and ability to meet goals and values through a decisional balance exercise, and formulation of a "change plan" tailored for each participant.

BEHAVIORAL

TBI

Participants receive a 30-minute intervention session with a Master's-level clinician. The interventions are designed to address the primary target behavior of alcohol use, and will include a tailored review of participants' goals/values, feedback regarding their present alcohol use patterns and consequences (either actual experiences or potential based on risk behaviors), developing a discrepancy between their alcohol use and ability to meet goals and values through a decisional balance exercise, and formulation of a "change plan" tailored for each participant.
