Brief description Since alcohol consumption is linked to more than 60 different medical conditions and is the most common preventable risk factor associated with injuries in Australia, interventions that can reduce these harms are needed. This study is designed to determine whether a computer-based brief alcohol intervention reduces hazardous drinking among hospital outpatients. If effective, the intervention could be implemented nationally as part of routine service delivery.
