Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study examines patterns and quality of care for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) provided by U.S. Army behavioral health clinicians (BHCs). Army BHCs (N = 399) completed a clinically detailed Web-based questionnaire on one systematically selected service member patient. Of 399 service member patients, 18% (n = 68) were diagnosed with AUD. Nearly two-thirds received evidence-based (EB) psychopharmacotherapy and/or any psychotherapy. Only 40%, however, received AUD-targeted psychotherapy (e.g., motivational interviewing/enhancement, 12-Step facilitation) and/or psychopharmacotherapy. Army BHCs commonly provide EB care for AUD. However, AUD-targeted psychotherapies are less common. Selected opportunities for improvement in provision of EB care for AUD have been identified.
