Summary
This trial is testing whether providing brief interventions to people who drink alcohol excessively will help to change their drinking behavior and avoid negative consequences such as injuries, arrests, and harmful drinking.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've been admitted to the trauma ward or ICU, can speak English or Spanish, and are able to consent. It's not for those under 18, non-English/Spanish speakers, people with severe psychiatric illnesses, or those incarcerated.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a short motivational talk can change drinking habits in injured patients. The goal is to see if this reduces re-hospitalizations due to alcohol-related injuries, DUI arrests, and harmful drinking patterns.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves only a brief counseling session without any medical drugs or procedures involved, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.
