Study Summary

This project aims to help Veterans who are in medical treatment and have untreated alcohol problems. First, the investigators adapted a Decision Aid that explains alcohol-related treatment options and their risks and benefits. Then, the investigators are determining the effectiveness of an intervention called DO-MoST (for Drinking Options-Motivate, Shared Decisions, Telemonitor), whereby a Decision Coach helps Veterans make decisions about alcohol-related behaviors and treatments they prefer, and keeps in contact by phone to continue to help with drinking and treatment decisions. DO-MoST is designed to increase rates at which Veterans decide to reduce or quit drinking, and begin and remain in treatment, and to improve drinking- and medical-related outcomes over time. It may also decrease Veterans' use of expensive health services such as hospitalizations and emergency visits. Finally, the investigators will study how VA can use DO-MoST on an ongoing, more widespread basis. The project should increase patient-centered health care for Veterans with alcohol problems to benefit their recovery.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will use the Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) to assess abstinence from alcohol use during the 30 days preceding assessment. The TLFB is a widely used, standardized, calendar-based retrospective self-report assessment to quantify daily alcohol use. The investigators will examine the primary outcome of abstinence from alcohol use at 12-month follow-up.
