Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this project is to conduct a pilot study evaluating feasibility, acceptability, and estimating the effect size of a new computerized Motivational Enhancement Therapy (cMET) intervention for alcohol-involved adolescent primary care patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this project is to conduct a pilot study evaluating feasibility, acceptability, and estimating the effect size of a new computerized Motivational Enhancement Therapy (cMET) intervention for alcohol-involved adolescent primary care patients. The investigators hypothesize that 1) cMET, when added to Computerized Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention (cASBI), (cASBI+cMET) will be feasible and acceptable when used in primary care; and 2) 12- to 18-yr old patients receiving cASBI+cMET will have lower rates of any alcohol use, days of alcohol use, drinks per drinking day, and days of heavy episodic drinking, than cASBI alone.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

cASBI+cMET

Participants will complete the computerized alcohol screening and brief intervention (cASBI)protocol at the time of an office visit and also complete the 2-session computerized Motivational Enhancement Therapy intervention (cMET).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

cASBI+cMET

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In the cASBI protocol participants complete a computerized screen for alcohol and drug use, view their screen results on the computer, then see 10 pages of science and true life stories describing the health effects of alcohol and other substance use. The provider receives a report of the screen results and gives brief advice regarding alcohol and drug use during the office visit. The cMET protocol is a 2 session intervention composed of 8 exercises designed to encourage adolescents their alcohol and other substance use and develop a plan to stop or reduce their use.
