Abstract
Background Unhealthy drinking and other drug use are common comorbid problems among individuals receiving treatment in psychiatric Emergency Departments (ED). Several studies have shown that systematic screening and motivational brief interventions (SBIRT) are promising approaches for reducing alcohol and drug use that can be implemented in psychiatric ED settings. Recent digital screening and brief intervention trials have shown reductions in alcohol and other drug use among general (non-psychiatric) ED patients. These electronic approaches have yet to be tested for those receiving care in psychiatric ED settings. This presentation will provide an overview and framework for considering how SBIRT might be delivered electronically among psychiatric ED patients and how digital devices might be used to extend the impact of SBIRT beyond the psychiatric ED.
