Enhanced MI for Alcohol-Positive Trauma Patients

Principal Investigator

Funding Source

NIAAA

Description

This R01 was awarded by NIAAA in 2005. Co-Investigators are Drs. Apodaca, Barnett, Colby, Cioffi, Gwaltney, Mello, and Shepard. Alcohol-positive critical care patients are more likely to be readmitted to a trauma center/ER or subsequently die from an injury than are alcohol-negative patients. Empirically supported treatments to reduce alcohol use and alcohol-related problems (e.g., injuries, drinking and driving) in this high-risk population are needed, but few exist. This randomized controlled clinical trial assesses the efficacy of a brief intervention that includes the patient and a significant other, relative to an intervention including the patient only, for reducing alcohol use and alcohol-related problems among critical care patients.
