Pilot Test of Computerized MET Intervention to Reduce Adolescent Alcohol Use
The goal of this project is to conduct a pilot study evaluating feasibility, acceptability,
and estimating the effect size of a new computerized Motivational Enhancement Therapy (cMET)
intervention for alcohol-involved adolescent primary care patients. The investigators
hypothesize that 1) cMET, when added to Computerized Alcohol Screening and Brief
Intervention (cASBI), (cASBI+cMET) will be feasible and acceptable when used in primary
care; and 2) 12- to 18-yr old patients receiving cASBI+cMET will have lower rates of any
alcohol use, days of alcohol use, drinks per drinking day, and days of heavy episodic
drinking, than cASBI alone.
