Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyFeasibility and Acceptability of a Pediatric Emergency Department Alcohol Prevention Intervention for Young Adolescents.
The objective of this study was to determine feasibility and acceptability of a brief pediatric emergency department (PED) prevention intervention to delay/prevent initiation of alcohol use in 12-to 14-year-olds. ⋯ A BPI in the PED is both feasible and acceptable, but phone boosters proved less feasible. Larger samples and further study are needed to identify efficacy of the BPI in delaying onset of alcohol use in teens.
