The purpose of this study is to determine whether a booster session is needed after a brief intervention upon initial admission to the emergency room (ER) in order to reduce the rate of alcohol-related injury recidivism.
The primary purpose of the proposed research is to compare the effectiveness of brief intervention, brief intervention plus a booster and treatment as usual for adult patients with an alcohol related injury. The primary outcomes of interest in the proposed trial are injury recidivism, alcohol intake, and alcohol problems. Because brief alcohol interventions with injured patients are opportunistic in nature, the patient's motivation to change or stage of change likely influences their response to brief intervention as well as the need for additional intervention. Therefore, the primary hypothesis of the proposed research is that patients presenting for treatment of an alcohol related injury who are in the precontemplation or contemplation stages of change require brief intervention with booster while patients in the preparation or action stages of change benefit equally from brief intervention alone or brief intervention plus booster. That is, an interaction between the patient's stage of change (Precontemplation and Contemplation or Action) at enrollment and treatment type (Brief Intervention, Brief Intervention with Booster and Treatment as Usual) is hypothesized to influence treatment effect at follow up. In addition, the impact of intervention on the patient's motivation to change at follow up will be assessed.
