Abstract
To facilitate the early identification and treatment of alcohol misuse among trauma patients, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) requires ACS-accredited level 1 trauma centers to have an active alcohol screening and brief intervention program. The development, implementation, and evaluation of a screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment as a new institutional standard of care for alcohol misuse at a level 1 trauma center is described. The Division of Behavioral Medicine, a health psychology-based service, was nominated to manage this initiative as a result of clinical training and expertise in assessment, evidence-based psychological interventions, and case management. Trauma patients with elevated blood alcohol concentrations were screened at the time of admission and several months post-hospitalization. Clinical data suggest that screening for alcohol misuse can help identify patients at risk for, and struggling with, alcohol use disorders, encourage positive changes in alcohol consumption patterns, and increase access to treatment. Recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of this process, associated challenges and limitations, and considerations for future clinical and research endeavors are discussed.
