Trial Outcomes & Findings for Alcohol Screening and Pre-Operative Intervention Research Study (NCT NCT03929562)
NCT ID: NCT03929562
Last Updated: 2022-11-15
Results Overview
Average (i.e. mean) weekly alcohol use was assessed using the timeline followback measure. The timeline followback assesses alcohol use using a calendar format on which participants report the number of standard drinks they consumed each day during the assessment period. In the United States, one standard drink (or one alcoholic drink equivalent), is defined as any beverage containing 0.6 oz or 14 grams of pure alcohol.

Brief Advice
One 10-minute educational and feedback intervention delivered 4 weeks prior to surgery.
|
Health Coaching
Two 45-minute Health Coaching sessions delivered 4 weeks and 2 weeks prior to surgery, respectively. The sessions were based on the principles of collaborative care, motivational interviewing, and the Health Belief Model. Intervention delivery included education about alcohol use and surgical risk, providing feedback linking alcohol use and health (related to surgery and general health), advising the patient regarding abstinence or alcohol use reduction, and working with the patient to set a drinking goal if he/she was ready to change.

Health Coaching Session 2
This 45-minute Health Coaching session was delivered 2 weeks prior to surgery. The session was based on the principles of collaborative care, motivational interviewing, and the Health Belief Model. Session 2 focused on alcohol use and surgical risk reduction in the 6 weeks after surgery. Intervention delivery included education about alcohol use and surgical risk, reviewing change since session 1, providing feedback linking alcohol use and health (related to surgery and general health), advising the patient regarding abstinence or alcohol use reduction, and working with the patient to set or maintain a drinking goal if he/she was ready to change.
