Summary
A brief negotiational interview (BNI), administered in an Emergency Department setting for both hazardous and harmful drinkers has been shown to cost-effectively reduce a patient's alcohol intake and re-injury rate up to 3 years post intervention. A BNI is a short (5-30 minute) counseling session administered by non-addiction specialists based on the concepts of the FRAMES model of motivational interviewing. Text based boosters have been proposed to prolong the impact of this intervention, either with a standardized or personalized content. The investigators will conduct a pilot study to test the feasibility of the study protocols, acceptance of the intervention, and patient enrollment and retention rates, as we prepare for a fully powered pragmatic randomized adaptive controlled trial of the intervention for patients seen at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) Emergency Department.(ED)
