Centers: Screen for alcohol Level One Trauma Centers

5 Alcohol and Trauma Up to 69% meet diagnostic criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence. 46% of patients admitted with a blood alcohol level (BAL) of zero also meet aforementioned criteria. 6 Jurkovich GJ, Rivara FP, Gurney JG, Seguin D, Fligner CL, Copass M.

8 Alcohol Intervention Most patients are ready to change use. 86% report at least one binge-drinking episode in the past month. Mean of 3.4 days of binge-drinking/month. 84% consider changing their drinking. 9 Apodaca, TR and Schermer, CR. Readiness to Change Alcohol Use after Trauma. Journal of Trauma. 2003; 54(5), May 2003,

4 days of binge-drinking/month. 84% consider changing their drinking.

9 Alcohol Intervention 94% of patients believes someone from the trauma team should address their alcohol use. Barriers exist to the incorporation of routine alcohol screening and intervention in trauma centers. Treatment may need to be culturally adapted. 10 Schermer, CR; Bloomfield, LA; Lu, SW; Demarest, GB. Trauma Patient Willingness to Participate in Alcohol Screening and Intervention. Journal of Trauma. 2003; 54(4), April 2003,

Treatment may need to be culturally adapted. 10 Schermer, CR; Bloomfield, LA; Lu, SW; Demarest, GB.

10 Alcohol Intervention 2524 patients were screened 1153 screened positive (46%) 366 randomized to intervention group (IG) 396 to control group (CG) 11

11 Alcohol Intervention At 12 months: IG decrease alcohol use by 21.8 ± 3.7 drinks/wk; CG decrease was 6.7 ± 5.8 (p< 0.03) 12

12 Alcohol Intervention Most apparent reduction in patients with mild to moderate alcohol problems (SMAST score 3 to 8) IG had 21.6 ± 4.2 fewer drinks per week CG had 2.3 ± 8.3 drinks per week (p< 0.01) 13

13 Alcohol Intervention IG had 47% reduction in injuries requiring either emergency department or trauma center admission. (hazard ratio 0.53, 95% confidence interval 0.26 to 1.07, p<0.07) IG had 48% reduction in injuries requiring hospital admission (3 years follow-up). 14 Gentilello, LM; Rivara, FP, Donovan, DM; Jurkovich, JG; et al. Alcohol Interventions in a Trauma Center as a Means of Reducing the Risk of Injury Recurrence. Annals of Surgery (4),

07) IG had 48% reduction in injuries requiring hospital admission (3 years follow-up).

19 Conclusion These data reinforce the need for: a fully integrated BI program in trauma centers; greater scrutiny of substance using trauma patients; study to remove bias; and, protocol to more effectively address substance use. 20
