Effective Brief Interventions for Drug-using Traumatically Injured Patients

Alcohol and drug use contribute to physical injury [1-5]. Despite multiple studies on the way injury and brief intervention prompt change in alcohol consumption [6], there have been very few studies regarding the change process relative to severity of physical injury, despite the literature establishing drug use as being problematic [4]. This study investigated the relationship between the abbreviated injury scale (AIS) and a clinicianassigned stage of change (SOC) to patients who used alcohol and/or drugs for nonmedical reasons and were admitted to an American College of Surgeons-verified Level One Trauma Center (LOTC).
