- Registration Number
- NCT00849589
- Lead Sponsor
- Boston Children's Hospital
- Brief Summary
The goal of this project is to adapt a computerized Screening and Brief Advice (SBA) protocol that has demonstrated efficacy in reducing underage drinking among adolescent primary care patients and then to test it in a multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT).
- Detailed Description
The specific aims of the proposed multisite RCT are:
1. To establish the efficacy of the computerized SBA protocol on alcohol use, on DWI/RWID, and other alcohol-related health risk behaviors;
2. To test the effect of Technological Extenders (TE) on prolonging the beneficial effects of the SBA protocol;
3. To identify moderators, mediators, and optimal responders to the SBA/TE interventions;
4. To examine the association between cessation of underage drinking and other health-risk behaviors in an adolescent primary care sample.
