Program Overview
Activity Description
Alcohol misuse is a prevalent disorder affecting all age groups from adolescents to older adults. Misuse may be characterized by risky and hazardous drinking as well as heavy drinking episodes. More than 85,000 deaths per year are attributed to alcohol misuse in the United States. Identified misuse is often treated by behavioral counseling involving multiple interventions and patient education.
In 2011, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) commissioned a systematic review of published studies to study the comparative effectiveness of screening followed by behavioral counseling, with or without referral, for alcohol misuse in primary care settings. This monograph summarizes the key findings of the review and poses potential applications to clinical practice.
