Adolescent Substance Use Prevention Intervention Research Study in Pediatric Primary Care
Sponsor: Boston Children's Hospital
Summary
Our goal is to conduct a large multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a promising computer-facilitated Screening and clinician Brief Intervention (cSBI) system designed for delivery by pediatric primary care clinicians and aimed at reducing unhealthy alcohol use and related riding/driving safety risk among adolescent patients. Our setting will be the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) national primary care research network, with \>600 U.S. primary care practices having participated in recent studies. This trial addresses the evidence gap identified in the latest U.S. Preventive Services Task Force review of alcohol screening and brief counseling interventions among adolescents, and, if shown effective, the cSBI system could be widely disseminated via AAP's existing education, teaching, and advocacy platforms to its 67,000 pediatrician members, thereby greatly increasing the potential for population-level impact of alcohol screening and brief intervention for U.S. adolescents.

Interventions
Computer-facilitated Screening and Brief Intervention
cSBI includes: 1) computer self-administered screening that adolescents complete prior to seeing their clinician, immediately followed by 2) computer-delivered brief psychoeducation on the health risks of substance use to prime patients for the clinician encounter, and 3) a Clinician Report Form with screen results and prompts that clinicians use to provide motivational interviewing-based individualized counseling during the visit.
