Trajectories of alcohol screening and brief intervention (ASBI) performance and their associations with long-term performance and alcohol use outcomes: an observational study in a large US integrated healthcare delivery system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Unhealthy alcohol use is a public health problem with significant health, social and economic impacts. Alcohol screening and brief intervention (ASBI) in adult primary care is an evidence-based approach enabling early identification and intervention of unhealthy alcohol use. However, large-scale implementation and sustainment of ASBI in routine clinical practice remains a challenge, and little is known about its population-level impact. Using electronic health record (EHR) data in a large integrated healthcare system in Northern California that implemented systematic ASBI in adult primary care in mid-2013, this observational study examined: 1) trajectories of ASBI performance over 5 years post systematic implementation, and 2) their associations with both later ASBI perf
