The primary care visit is an opportunity for
intervention
Treatment works!
Timely referral is effective

United States

Pregnancy is a unique time, where motivation to reduce
alcohol use may be higher.
74% of women stop drinking during pregnancy.
Issues unique to pregnancy
No known safe levels of alcohol intake
No exact dose-response relationship
Binge drinking may be more concerning than similar
volumes over time.

Nation’s Public Health Agenda:

Increase the proportion of persons who are
referred for follow-up care for alcohol
problems, drug problems, or suicide attempts
after diagnosis or treatment for one of these
problems in the emergency department

SCREENING
Screening for Alcohol use and abuse
ACOG Committee Opinion: Dec 2008
“Obstetrician-gynecologists have an ethical obligation to
learn and use a protocol of universal screening questions,
brief intervention, and referral to treatment in order to
provide patients with medical care that is state-of-the-art,
comprehensive and effective.
Screening allows for early and effective treatment
Screening is cost-effective (saves $7 for every $ spent)
Primary care visit is an ideal opportunity to screen and
intervene as necessary

On average, how many days per week do you
drink alcohol?

drinks do you have?
What is the maximum number of drinks you had
on a given occasion last month?
Remember that a “standard

Brief Intervention
Primary Prevention
Brief negotiated intervention (BNI):
A motivational interview
For the “At-risk drinker”
Principles of Motivational
Interviewing
Ask for permission to discuss problems
Express empathy and avoid arguments
Develop discrepancies
Roll with resistance and provide personalized feedback
Help patients understand the differences between their behavior and their
goals
“Reflective listening”
Support self-motivation
Motivational Interviewing: A Tool for
Behavior Change
ACOG Committee Opinion: Jan 2009
The goal is to “help patients identify and change behaviors
that place them at risk”
“motivational interviewing to everyday patient interactions
has been proved effective in eliciting “behavior change”
“ACOG encourages the use of motivational interviewing as
one approach to elicit behavior change.”
Fleming et al
JAMA 1997
“Brief physician advice for problem alcohol drinkers: a
randomized control trial in community-based primary
care practices”
Randomized controlled trial
17 practices with 64 physicians
Intervention included:
723 patients
Educational workbook,
15 minute visits one month apart x 2
Nurse follow-up calls x 2 (2 weeks after the visit)
Fleming et al
JAMA 1997
Results at 12 months (n=723)
Alcohol consumption reduced with intervention:
Intervention group
19.1 drinks/wk 11.5
Control group
18.9 drinks/wk 15.2
Episodes of binge drinking during prior 30 days:
Intervention group
5.7 3.1
Control group
5.3 4.2
Brief Interventions are Effective…
How do we do it?
Video: Scenario 1
Components of the Brief Negotiated
Intervention
1.
Raise the Subject
2.
Provide Feedback
3.
Enhance Motivation
4.
Negotiate and Advise
Step 1: Raise the Subject
Establish Rapport
Raise the subject of alcohol use
Step 1: Establish Rapport
To understand the patient’s concerns and
circumstances
“That car accident must have been scary”
“Having your boyfriend hurt you must be awful”
To explain the providers concern/role
I am concerned regarding the effect alcohol may be having on
you.
To avoid a judgmental stance
Step 1: Raise the subject
Get the patient’s agreement to talk about the alcohol or
drug use
Talk about the pros and cons of their use/abuse
Do you mind if we just take a few minutes to talk about your
alcohol/drug use?
What is it that alcohol does for you?
Re-state what they have said regarding the pros and
cons
Troubleshooting:
What if the patient does not want
to talk about their use/abuse ?
“ Okay, I see you aren’t ready to talk about this today.
Remember that we are here 24 / 7 if you change your
mind”
Step 2: Provide Feedback
Review patient’s drinking patterns
“From what I understand you are drinking…”
Step 2: Provide Feedback
Make connection to the visit if possible
If the patient sees a connection:
“What connection (if any) do you see between
your drinking and this visit?”
Reflect what they have just said.
If the patient does not see a connection:
Help make a connection with facts
“Alcohol can slow your reflexes and predispose you to
accidents”
“Alcohol may impair your judgment and …..
Step 2: Provide Feedback
Compare to National Norms and offer NIAAA
guidelines (show them)
Step 3: Enhance Motivation:
Assess the readiness for change
“On a scale of 1-10
(1 being not ready and 10 being very ready)
how ready are you to change any aspect your
drinking patterns?”

Step 3: Enhance Motivation
Develop Discrepancies
• If patient indicates she is ready for change:
> 2 : “Why did you choose that number and not a
lower one? What are some reasons that you are so
motivated to change.”
• If patient indicates she is not ready for change:
< 1:
“Have you ever done anything that you wish
you hadn’t while drinking: What would make this a
problem for you.” Discuss pros and cons
Step 3: Enhance Motivation
Develop Discrepancy
Explore Pros and Cons
Help the patient identify the discrepancy
between present behavior and important goals
Use the discrepancy as a change motivator
Let the patient name the problem and offer
solutions
The Ready Patient
Help the patient to:
Name a solution for themselves
Choose a course of action
Decide how to achieve it
Encourage patient choice
Not Ready for Change
Don’t
Use shame or blame
Preach
Label
Stereotype
Confront
Do
Offer information,
support and further
contact
Present feedback and
concerns, if permitted
Negotiate: “What would it
take you to consider a
change ?”
Not Ready for Change
Avoid arguments
Counter productive
Defending breeds defensiveness
Perceptions can be shifted
Labeling is unnecessary
Resistance is a signal to change strategies
Rolling with resistance
Unsure patients
Don’t
Jump ahead
Give advice
Expect argument about
change
Do
Explore pros & cons
“help me to understand
what alcohol does for
you”
“Are there things you
don’t like about your
alcohol use?”
Step 4: Negotiate and Advise
Reinforce what the patient has stated are her
goals.
Negotiate the goal/Elicit a response
“What is the next step?”
Give advice
“So… you would like to reduce your drinking to prevent….”
“If you can stay within the limits you just mentioned you
will be less likely to have a car accident..”
Summarize
“This is what I heard you say..
Step 4: Negotiate and Advise
Provide handouts
Drinking agreements
Other support sources
Step 4: Negotiate and Advise
Suggest primary care follow up or referral
Social worker
Psychiatric services
Discharge sheet of possible centers and / or
programs and information
Thank patient for their time

Alcohol problems are common, identifiable and
treatable disorders
Knowledge and skills for screening and
intervention can be learned

Discussion
To what degree do you discuss alcohol use with
your patients?
Discussion
Do you think you can incorporate SBIRT
(Screening, Brief Negotiated Interview, and
Referral to Treatment) into your practice?
If so, why? What parts seem to work well?
If not, why not? What barriers exist?
