Abstract

Brief intervention is a clinically-based, cost effective, time efficient intervention designed to counsel nondependent drinkers about strategies to reduce their alcohol consumption. The ultimate goal of brief intervention is to prevent future alcohol-related injury and health problems. This focused and time limited intervention is designed for use by health care providers in their ongoing daily practice. Patients who recently experienced an alcohol-related injury are particularly receptive to brief intervention.
