Popis: Alcohol care management (ACM) is one model of embedding a behavioral health provider (BHP) into primary care clinics.1, 2 We previously reported on the effectiveness of a 6-month trial of ACM vs referral to outpatient specialty care (SC) for treatment engagement and reducing alcohol consumption.3 Though designed to empower patient/primary care provider (PCP) dyads to independently manage problematic alcohol use, the durability of ACM following the BHP’s departure is unknown: Here, we evaluate the post-intervention effects of ACM on drinking outcomes. It was predicted that, compared to SC referral, ACM-mediated improvements in alcohol consumption would persist over the 6 months following intervention.
