Abstract
Background/Aims: Many hypertensive patients drink at levels above recommended limits, which is associated with adverse blood pressure changes. Alcohol screening and brief intervention in adult primary care has been found efficacious in reducing hazardous drinking, yet little is known about the impacts on health outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effect of alcohol screening and brief intervention on blood pressure control among adult hypertensive patients by analyzing data of the ADVISe study, a clustered randomized controlled trial on Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) implementation by primary care physicians (PCP) and nonphysician providers in a large, integrated health care delivery system.
