Personalized Drinking Feedback Intervention for Veterans of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Type
Summary

The efficacy of personalized drinking feedback intervention among OEF/OIF/OND Veterans were examined on peak blood alcohol concentration, alcoholic drinks per week, and alcohol-related problems. Veterans were randomly enrolled in personalized intervention or education-only intervention and effects of interventions were examined. Findings included supportive trends of personalized intervention lowering the three conditions, but only lowering peak blood alcohol concentration was a significant result.
