Psychological outpatient follow-up after hospitalization for adolescent acute alcohol intoxication.

ABSTRACT: Alcohol-related emergency department attendance in adolescents should be considered as a valuable opportunity to address and mitigate future alcohol consumption. Therefore, a paediatric department of a major district hospital in the Netherlands developed an outpatient preventive program targeting adolescents admitted for acute alcohol intoxication. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate how adolescent drinking patterns participating in the preventive program developed over time. This retrospective observational study involved 310 patients from the Reinier de Graaf Hospital, Delft, the Netherlands (years 2014-2022). The outpatient preventive program consists of three main components: an initial intervention, subsequent an extended counselling session and psychological interventions. T
