About this study

Official title: Brief Education to Reduce Health Care Consumers' Risky Substance Use Behaviors: How Brief is Brief?

The investigators seek to develop a more efficient and effective approach to providing brief behavioral health interventions for risky substance use behaviors by comparing a brief coach directed intervention to a tailored report only group.

Read the detailed description

Screening and brief intervention (SBIRT) generally involves universal screening for risky substance use behaviors in medical settings and the immediate provision of a 3-15 minute intervention to those found to be at risk. In this pilot study, the investigators seek to develop a more efficient and effective approach to providing brief behavioral health interventions in the field by comparing a brief coach directed intervention to a tailored report only group. The goal is to create a cost-effective and sustainable system that provides consumers with tailored information that will help them both initiate and sustain the lifestyle changes necessary for improving their overall health.

Hypothesis 1: In a medical setting, personalized feedback alone will be associated with a reduction in risky substance use behaviors.

Hypothesis 2: In a medical setting, personalized feedback alone will have the same impact on behavior as that information plus a brief coach education session on risky substance use behaviors..

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Substance use behaviors and consequences

    Interview questionnaire includes items concerning substance use behaviors (e.g., the number of drinks in the last 7 days) and consequences {e.g., ''During the past month, how often have you failed to do what was normally expected of you because of your use of alcohol?'

    Measured: 1 month follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Substance use behavioral intentions

    Interview questionnaire that asks participants about their memory of the materials provided in the intervention, their motivation toward change, and their self-reported change efforts.

    Measured: 1 month follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Personalized feedback report and Personalized feedback report plus education in people with Substance Abuse, run by University of Missouri-Columbia at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Substance use behaviors and consequences (time frame: 1 month follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Sep 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
