Active Control
Group I: Alcohol Peer-Mentor InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A Veteran Peer research assistant will have contact with a study participant once in person in the emergency department at enrollment, and up to 6 times after enrollment over the course of 2 months. Participants will receive brief advice from a peer. Brief advice content will be based on strengths-based discussions with participants regarding their drinking and personal goals and preferences. Participants will also receive a resource pamphlet on alcohol and other health issues. Follow-up contact will be made by phone. The content of the follow-up peer intervention will be based on the manual developed by the study team to address strengths-based intervention topics.
Group II: Brief AdviceActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will receive brief substance use advice from a non-peer research staff member in the emergency department. Brief advice content will mirror standard care practices currently provided in VHA when a patient endorses hazardous drinking behaviors. Participants will also receive a resource pamphlet on alcohol and other health issues.
