Screening for Alcohol Abuse in the Emergency Room
There are an estimated 7.6 million alcohol-related emergency room (ER) visits each year in the country. A first step in identifying an alcohol problem is screening all ER patients utilizing two well-researched screening tests. Once identified, one technique that has proven successful is motivationally-based brief interviews focused on reducing alcohol use. The research to date, however, has been focused on an academic medical environment and not within the more common environment of the community hospital ER, where 56 percent of all ER visits occur.
