Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The amount and the pattern of alcohol consumption in the video intervention group and the control (standard care) group based on their answers on 2 questionnaires about their current drinking patterns and behaviour (Timeline Followback & AUDIT), 3 months after their visit to the Emergency Department.
Secondary outcome
- The number of people that are consuming less alcohol, the same amount, or more 3 months after being discharged, in the intervention and the control group.
- The pattern of alcohol consumption 3 months later between the intervention and control group. - Patients’ own opinion about their alcohol consumption.
- The number of people that sought help for their (problematic) alcohol consumption.
- The number of people that needed medical attention because of an alcohol related incident.
- Presence of harmful drinking in the past 3 months.
- Patient satisfaction.
Background summary
Acute alcohol intoxication is a serious and potentially dangerous condition associated with future problematic alcohol consumption and related (health-care) costs. Acute alcohol intoxication accounts for up to 1.2% of all visits in the ED, with higher rates (15%) among admitted patients. Not much is known about intervention strategies among adults presenting with alcohol intoxication in the ED. Intervention studies in general ED-population showed some effective strategies but they where highly time- and thereby money consuming. Standardised video intervention is a less time-consuming option and studies show good results in other medical areas, but no information is available for alcohol intoxications.
This multicenter randomised controlled trial will investigate if video intervention causes reduction in amount and (problematic) drinking patterns among patients presenting with acute alcohol intoxication in the ED.
Study objective
We hypothesize that our intervention using a standardised educational video, causes reduction in (problematic) drinking patterns in the high risk population of patients presenting with acute alcohol intoxication to the ED.
Study design
T1. During presentation at Emergency Deparment.
T2. Three-month follow-up.
Intervention
The video intervention group will be shown an educational video based on the FRAMES principle for brief interventions in alcohol misuse.
Inclusion criteria
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria:
- Visit the Emergency Department of the Erasmus Medical Center or the Franciscus Gasthuis in Rotterdam within the predefined study period.
AND
- The primary reason for presenting to the ED is an acute alcohol intoxication.
OR
- Alcohol intoxication was not the primary reason for presenting at the ED but the patient did need medical attention because of an acute alcohol intoxication that was present.
Exclusion criteria
A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
- Age < 16
- Language barrier
