ED-SMART intervention
The ED-SMART intervention will include: (i) a brief (approximately 15 minutes) counseling session in the emergency department and (ii) five, monthly brief counseling sessions (approximately 15 to 30 minutes) delivered by telehealth. These sessions will focus on creating individualized strategies to help participants reach their alcohol and substance use reduction goals
Substance use information
The substance use information condition will receive printed health information covering information about substance use (e.g., definitions, hazards, potential for addiction, injury, and other consequences). Research staff will also discuss ways to utilize primary care or establish care with a primary care provider to provide ongoing follow-up.
