Study Summary
This project will involve the development and initial evaluation of a promising computer-based intervention to improve the primary care management of risky alcohol use among Veterans. The intervention uses a Relational Agent, an on-screen "person" that establishes a relationship with the Veteran to promote positive health behaviors. This study will determine how Veterans interact with this system, how it can be tailored to Veterans' preferences, and its potential effect on risky drinking. If ultimately proven effective, the Relational Agent will have several impacts on Veterans and their health care, including: * (1) lower rates of risky drinking in Veterans * (2) improved rates of brief counseling for Veterans with excessive alcohol use * (3) increased proportion of Veterans referred to Mental Health for alcohol disorders * (4) improved care for Veterans with low levels of health literacy. This study directly supports Secretary Shinseki's Transformational Initiative to employ state-of-the-art information technology to improve quality and access of Veterans' health care.
Primary Outcome
Average number of drinks consumed on days when the participant drinks. For instance, if someone drinks 4 drinks on 3 separate days, their average drinks per drinking day is 4.
