“…Several reviews have been conducted on the effectiveness of face-to-face brief interventions in health care and treatment settings (Moyer et al, 2002;Bien et al, 1993). Results are consistent, showing that brief interventions are more effective than no counseling (Bien et al, 1993).Personalized feedback is often incorporated into brief interventions and aims to encourage behavior and/or attitude change. Studies suggest that incorporating social norms information into feedback interventions can help decrease alcohol consumption, encouraging participants to become more aware of the level and consequences of their drinking and how their drinking behaviors compare to others of a similar social or demographic group (White 2006; Walters and Neighbors, 2005; Neighbors et al, 2004;Collins et al, 2002;).…”

A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2 AbstractObjective: To review the published literature on the effectiveness of web-based interventions designed to decrease consumption of alcohol and/or prevent alcohol abuse.Method: Relevant articles published up to, and including, May 2006 were identified through electronic searches of Medline, PsycInfo, Embase, Cochrane Library, ASSIA, Web of Science and Science Direct. Reference lists of all articles identified for inclusion were checked for articles of relevance. An article was included if its stated or implied purpose was to evaluate a web-based intervention designed to decrease consumption of alcohol and/or to prevent alcohol abuse. Studies were reliably selected and quality-assessed, and data were independently extracted and interpreted by two authors.Results: Initial searches identified 191 articles of which 10 were eligible for inclusion. Of these, five provided a process evaluation only, with the remaining five providing some pre-to postintervention measure of effectiveness. In general the percentage quality criteria met was relatively low and only one of the 10 articles selected was a randomized control trial. Conclusion:The current review provides inconsistent evidence on the effectiveness of eIectronic screening and brief intervention (eSBI) for alcohol use. Process research suggests that web-based interventions are generally well received. However further controlled trials are needed to fully investigate their efficacy, to determine which elements are key to outcome and to understand if different elements are required in order to engage low and high risk drinkers.Key Words: Alcohol; Brief Interventions; Web-Based; Personalized Feedback; Systematic Review.

“…Although the majority of studies show a significant difference between intervention and control conditions, the majority have also shown significant improvement in the control group. 5,6 The two trials with the largest samples 13,14 both found that clinically significant reductions over spontaneous improvement may result from brief intervention. Specifically, a study sponsored by the World Health Organization 13 found that among men, brief intervention resulted in a decrease of approximately 17% in average daily alcohol consumption compared with a control group.…”

“…Similarly, motivational interviewing is a counseling technique that relies on identifying and mobilizing patients' values and goals to stimulate behavior change [4,28,29]. This technique is designed to find a constructive way to overcome the challenges that arise when a health professional ventures into a patient's motivation for change [26].…”

Background A TKA is the most effective and cost-effective surgical option for moderate to severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Yet, black patients are less willing to undergo knee replacement surgery than white patients. Decision aids help people understand treatment options and consider the personal importance of possible benefits and harms of treatments, including TKA. Questions/purposes We asked: (1) Does a patient-centered intervention consisting of a decision aid for knee OA and motivational interviewing improve the proportion of referrals of blacks with knee OA to orthopaedic surgery? (2) Does the intervention increase patients' willingness to undergo TKA? Methods Adults who self-identified as black who were at least 50 years old with moderate to severe knee OA were enrolled from urban primary care clinics in a two-group randomized, controlled trial. A total of 1253 patients were screened for eligibility, and 760 were excluded for not meeting inclusion criteria, declining to participate, or other reasons. Four hundred ninety-three patients were randomized and completed the intervention; three had missing referral data at followup. The mean age of the patients was 61 years, and 51% were women. The majority had an annual household income less than USD 15,000. Participants in the treatment group were shown a decision-aid video and had a brief session with a trained counselor in motivational interviewing.
