Study Summary

The traditional paradigm that relies upon training physicians and nurses or uses on-site interventionists to perform screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for alcohol has proven unsustainable in most clinical settings. The Remote Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (R-BIRT) for alcohol is an innovative telehealth service model with potential to improve public health through evidence based counseling for patients who exceed the NIAAA low risk drinking limits or have evidence of an Alcohol Use Disorder with professional and self-help treatment. For those that are appropriate, the R-BIRT service will provide facilitated referrals to specialized alcohol abuse treatment. The service model is being studied in the emergency department (ED) setting to demonstrate its utility in a medical setting with a very high prevalence of risky alcohol use and Alcohol Use Disorders; however, the model is relevant and will be accessible to a broad array of healthcare settings, including primary care practices. Our new model, the R-BIRT, challenges the prevailing paradigm and offers the promise of not only clinical efficacy but increased cost effectiveness as well.
