A randomised controlled pilot trial evaluating feasibility and acceptability of a computer-based tool to identify and reduce harmful and hazardous drinking among adolescents with alcohol-related presentations in Canadian pediatric emergency departments
BMJ Open Sep 02, 2017
Newton AS, et al. – This study strived to identify the feasibility of a definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT) with regard to the effectiveness of a computer–based brief intervention with alcohol–related presentations in Canadian pediatric emergency departments (ED). It was determined that this intervention was acceptable to adolescents and delivery was feasible in the ED in terms of time to use and ease of use. Adjustments to the intervention were required to improve its credibility. It was noted that a definitive RCT would be feasible if protocol adjustments were performed to improve recruitment and retention rates and increase the number of study sites and research staff.
