Study Summary

In order to improve the quality of alcohol-related care for those with unhealthy alcohol use, the current research will use an evidence-based implementation strategy, practice facilitation, at one VA primary care site to pilot test whether practice facilitation has the potential to improve the quality of primary care-based alcohol-related care . It is hypothesized that primary care providers who take part in the practice facilitation intervention will provide higher quality substance use care to Veterans with unhealthy alcohol use compared to care pre-practice facilitation (e.g., administer evidence-based brief counseling interventions at higher rates, prescribe alcohol use disorder pharmacotherapy at higher rates, increase referrals to specialty substance use disorder clinics).

Primary Outcome

Reach outcomes will be expressed as a rate, with the denominator (for all outcomes) defined as all Veterans with a visit to the primary care site during active implementation of the practice facilitation pilot test. The numerator for each Reach outcome is as follows: the number of Veterans who screened positive for unhealthy alcohol use (AUDIT-C \>= 5) AND had any documented brief intervention, specialty addictions treatment (inpatient and outpatient clinic visits for substance use disorder trea
