Summary

This project is designed to refine and evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a brief, telephone-administered alcohol risk reduction intervention for Veterans.

Conditions

  • Alcohol Use

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Brief behavioral counseling

Participants receive a two-session phone-based alcohol risk reduction intervention based on principles of harm reduction. Participants receive personalized feedback regarding how alcohol use may impact their health. Following a motivational enhancement exercise, participants are advised to reduce alcohol intake to within recommended limits. Evidence-based strategies are discussed (e.g., goal setting, self-monitoring, identifying and avoiding triggers, dealing with urges, pacing and spacing drinks, managing high risk situations, finding alternatives to alcohol, developing refusal skills, and enlisting social support). Educational materials addressing methods for cutting down are also provided, along with information about other available resources to support their efforts.
