“…While there is a dearth of research to establish the effectiveness of violence intervention programs, there is evidence that SBIRT efforts reduce problem drinking (Bazargan-Hejazi et al, 2005) and by extension, violence involvement. Cooper, Eslinger & Stolley (2006) recently demonstrated that a resource intense program for violence-involved admitted trauma patients can reduce both criminal and health care adverse outcomes.…”

The medical literature has focused on violent victimization as a public health concern, examining its correlates and evaluating intervention models. However, the emphasis on victimization in this literature overlooks the strong ties between victimization and offending risks outlined in the criminological literature, which may unnecessarily limit the scope of public health efforts to influence violence in our communities. This study examines whether the similarities observed in

“…44 Another randomized controlled trial among heavy drinkers using peers showed a higher rate of patients in the intervention group drinking within low-risk drinking limits compared with controls. 42 In a recent study of the impact of an alcohol education curriculum at 14 academic U.S. EDs that enrolled 402 providers, the providers at sites with peer educators reported that they were more likely to refer patients to treatment. At What Point(s) in the Clinical Encounter Is It Appropriate for These Individuals to Intervene?…”

“…13 In addition, peer health educators (health promotion advocates) trained in motivational interviewing have been successful in screening, brief intervention, and referral to substance abuse treatment (screening, brief intervention, referral, treatment; SBIRT) at a number of EDs. [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] These nonphysician ED staff are peer educators trained in health promotion, are recruited from communities served by their hospitals' EDs, 40,46 and may be in long-term addiction recovery and/or licensed as substance abuse counselors. 40 What Data Exist to Support Their Use?…”

Effective preventive and screening interventions have not been widely adopted in emergency departments (EDs). Barriers to knowledge translation of these initiatives include lack of knowledge of current evidence, perceived lack of efficacy, and resource availability. To address this challenge, the Academic Emergency Medicine 2007 Consensus Conference, ''Knowledge Translation in Emergency Medicine: Establishing a Research Agenda and Guide Map for Evidence Uptake,'' convened a public health focus group. The question this group addressed was ''What are the unique contextual elements that need to be addressed to bring proven preventive and other public health initiatives into the ED setting?'' Public health experts communicated via the Internet beforehand and at a breakout session during the conference to reach consensus on this topic, using published evidence and expert opinion. Recommendations include 1) to integrate proven public health interventions into the emergency medicine core curriculum, 2) to configure clinical information systems to facilitate public health interventions, and 3) to use ancillary ED personnel to enhance delivery of public health interventions and to obtain successful funding for these initiatives. Because additional research in this area is needed, a research agenda for this important topic was also developed. The ED provides medical care to a unique population, many with increased needs for preventive care. Because these individuals may have limited access to screening and preventive interventions, wider adoption of these initiatives may improve the health of this vulnerable population.

“…Physicians also have used the Brief Negotiating Interview (BNI) to address public health problems, through surveillance and brief interventions 47 such as at-risk and dependent alcohol consumption and drug use. 48,49 The BNI has been recommended by the American College of Emergency Physicians on its continuing medical education website and has been disseminated widely in EDs across the country.…”

The 2009 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference working group session participants developed recommendations and research questions for violence prevention in the emergency department (ED). A writing group devised a working draft prior to the meeting and presented this to the breakout session at the consensus conference for input and approval. The recommendations include: 1) promote and facilitate the collection of standardized information related to violence victimization and perpetration in ED settings; 2) develop and validate brief practical screening instruments that can identify those at risk for perpetration of violence toward others or toward self; 3) develop and validate brief practical screening instruments that can identify victims at risk for violent reinjury and mental health sequelae; and 4) conduct efficacy, translational, and dissemination research on interventions for violence prevention. The work group emphasized the critical need and role of ED-based research to impact surveillance and prevention of future violence-related injury.
