Description
Part of the Lifestyle Medicine Core Competencies program, this topic module contains one unit:
- Risky Alcohol Use and Alcohol Use Disorder: Screening and Intervention | Shaylona Kirk, MD, MPH, MA
The healthcare practitioner has a growing role to play in addressing alcohol use among their patients. The purpose of this module is to improve your ability to define and identify risky levels and patterns of alcohol use in order to provide appropriate treatment for your patients. By incorporating screening assessments for alcohol use the practitioner will be able to recommend and deliver treatment accordingly.
Increasing the skill level of a wider range of clinicians, including primary care practitioners, to address risky alcohol use will lead to improvement in patients’ long-term health risks. By incorporating this important component of lifestyle medicine, clinicians will be more comfortable with providing interventions and referrals.
Incorporating alcohol use assessment and intervention into your practice is a key step toward practicing lifestyle medicine. Many alcohol use strategies revolve around lifestyle changes of your patients. Your increased knowledge and competence about alcohol use will help with better diagnosis and treatment options for improved health for your patients.
After viewing the module presentations, learners should be able to:
Introduction to Tobacco Cessation Best Practices
- Recognize why alcohol use should be addressed in the clinical setting
- Identify key alcohol use definitions and diagnostic criteria in order to make treatment decisions
- Screen all patients for alcohol use and address any related health effects
- Use validated alcohol use screening instruments to best assess patient risk
- Provide your patients with brief interventions or more extensive treatment and/or referrals to specialists when appropriate
