Mentoring Alcohol-Use Intervention Research in Health Care Settings

This research will examine the relationship of alcohol use and depression over time using data based in the electronic health record (EHR), in the context of health care. We will conduct secondary analysis of depression and hazardous drinking patterns in an HIV-positive patient alcohol intervention trial sample (n = 614). We will also examine use of EHR tools and other factors associated with reduction in hazardous drinking over time (e.g., use of patient portals and secure messaging) in order to develop additional EHR-assisted alcohol interventions.
