Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This project aims to help Veterans who are in medical treatment and have untreated alcohol problems. First, the investigators adapted a Decision Aid that explains alcohol-related treatment options and their risks and benefits. Then, the investigators are determining the effectiveness of an intervention called DO-MoST (for Drinking Options-Motivate, Shared Decisions, Telemonitor), whereby a Decision Coach helps Veterans make decisions about alcohol-related behaviors and treatments they prefer, and keeps in contact by phone to continue to help with drinking and treatment decisions. DO-MoST is designed to increase rates at which Veterans decide to reduce or quit drinking, and begin and remain in treatment, and to improve drinking- and medical-related outcomes over time. It may also decrease Veterans' use of expensive health services such as hospitalizations and emergency visits. Finally, the investigators will study how VA can use DO-MoST on an ongoing, more widespread basis. The project should increase patient-centered health care for Veterans with alcohol problems to benefit their recovery.
