Brief Summary
The goal of this project is to test the effectiveness of a computer-facilitated alcohol screening and brief intervention (c-ASBI) system for 12- to 18-year-old primary care patients in a multi-site, randomized comparative effectiveness trial. The investigators hypothesize that, among 12- to 18-year olds patients coming for annual well-care, those receiving c-ASBI will have lower rates of any alcohol use at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups compared to Treatment As Usual (TAU).

Treatment at Usual
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants in this group will receive treatment as usual (TAU) from their provider, which may or may not include screening and brief advice regarding alcohol use.
c-ASBI
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in this group will receive the computerized alcohol screening and brief intervention (c-ASBI).
Interventions
Participants in the c-ASBI group will complete a computerized screen for alcohol, cannabis, tobacco and other drugs, then view their screen score and 10 pages of information about the health effects of substance use and true-life stories on the computer. Their provider will see a report of their screen results and provide advice to stop or decrease their use, or, for those at high risk, referral to complete a computerized motivational enhancement therapy intervention.
