Pilot Study of a Computer-Based Intervention for Alcohol Misuse in the Emergency Department
2018년 10월 31일 업데이트: Mandi Newton, University of Alberta
Alcohol misuse amongst youth is a significant clinical and public health problem.
The Emergency Department (ED) is an important setting for the treatment of alcohol-related problems as it is often the first point of contact between youth, their families, and the healthcare system.
This pilot study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of a computer-based intervention in the ED for youth with alcohol-related presentations.
The investigators research team will: (1) evaluate the methodological and operational processes involved in study recruitment and intervention implementation, (2) determine recruitment and retention rates, and (3) obtain preliminary data on the difference in alcohol consumption at different time points.
The clinical and health service implications of this research will be used to plan further investigations designed to improve the standard of ED care among youth aged 12 to 16 with alcohol-related presentations.
This research will also help optimize the planning and development of a full-scale randomized controlled clinical trial of a computer-based intervention designed to reduce higher-risk alcohol consumption and alcohol-related health and social problems in this target population.

설명
Study Inclusion Criteria:
- Youth aged 12 to 17 years who present to the Emergency Department (ED) with an alcohol-related problem.
- Medically stable
Alcohol involvement will be determined by youth self-report of drinking alcohol prior to event necessitating a visit to the ED and/or a positive Blood Alcohol Content (BAC).
Study Exclusion Criteria:
- Youth who require hospital admission
- Youth whose ED presentation is linked to drugs aside from alcohol
- Youth who report other drug use within the last 24 hours prior to ED presentation
- Youth who do not speak or understand English
- Youth who are currently enrolled in a treatment program for alcohol use
- Youth who are accompanied by a non-guardianship adult but are not considered Mature Minors
- Youth who do not have the capacity to give informed consent as determined by their attending ED physician
- Youth do not have regular access to their own telephone

실험적: Computer-based PAF
Standard medical care followed by computer-based personalized assessment feedback (PAF).
|
This intervention includes standard medical care followed by receipt of computer-based Personalized Assessment Feedback (PAF).
PAF is a type of brief intervention that targets norm misperceptions, for example summarizing a person's drinking in comparison to the average male or female in the general population.
Theoretically, such normative feedback corrects norm misperceptions and motivates drinkers to re-evaluate their consumption patterns.

가짜 비교기: Computer-based sham
Standard medical care followed by a computer-based sham.
|
This intervention includes standard medical care followed by receipt of a computer-based sham.
The sham is similar in format and duration as the computer-based Personalized Assessment Feedback but will engage youth in nutrition and exercise-related questions.

Change in Youth Alcohol Use
기간: baseline, 1 and 3 months post-intervention
|
AUDIT-C (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test Consumption subscale): 1 item regarding frequency of alcohol consumption, 1 item regarding the amount of alcohol consumption, and 1 item regarding the frequency of binge drinking.
Scores range from 0 to 12 with higher scores reflecting more consumption.
The change in alcohol use report below reflects the change in AUDIT-C scores with negative values indicating a reduction in score and positive values indicating an increase in score.

Recruitment Rate
기간: 18 months
|
To be calculated following active recruitment (18 months from study start date of patient enrolment).
The recruitment rate relates to recruitment into the study, and not recruitment per arm as randomization and allocation occurred after enrolment.

PAF Feasibility and Acceptability
기간: youth: post-intervention (day 1)
|
The acceptability of the Personalized Assessment Feedback (PAF) intervention will be assessed by youth post-intervention (only youth allocated to the PAF intervention).
Measure assessed acceptability (satisfaction with the intervention, perceptions of the helpfulness, credibility of the personalized assessment feedback) and feasibility (time to completion, user friendliness).

Change in Health Care System Utilization by Youth
기간: Baseline
|
The Child and Adolescent Services Assessment (CASA) is a self-report instrument designed to assess the use of community- and hospital-based health and social services.
We focused each question so that we collected service use for an alcohol use problem.

Receptivity to Receiving Services: Seeking Help/Treatment
기간: Baseline
|
As part of CASA measure (secondary outcome measure to measure health and social services utilization) adolescents were asked two additional questions on receptivity to receiving services.
The data below reflects the first question: On a scale of 1-5, where 1 is it's definitely a bad idea and 5 it's definitely a good idea, do you think that if someone you knew had an alcohol use problem they should get help or seek treatment?

|
Perceived Barriers to Services
기간: Baseline
|
As part of CASA measure (secondary outcome measure to measure health and social services utilization) adolescents answered 8 additional questions on perceived barriers to services: 1) Do you have any feelings such as dislike, distrust or fear about talking with doctors, counselors or other professionals?
2) Do you have any feelings about what other people would think if you sought help?
3) Do you find there is a lack of information that affected health services sought?
4) Do you have any concerns about the amount of time it takes to get help?
5) Were the health services you sought just not readily available?
6) Did you feel you just didn't want to talk to anyone about such a sensitive problem?
7) Was there a problem with registration, setting up appointments or contacting professionals?
8) Was there a problem getting to where treatment was available?
