“…Finally, this study evaluated associations between gender and receipt of brief intervention and does not address the quality of brief interventions received. Because other studies have identified quality concerns with brief interventions delivered clinically in VA (Williams et al, 2016; Williams et al, 2014), the clinical significance of this study’s findings may be limited.…”

“…These elements of brief intervention are consistent with those offered in randomized controlled trials of its efficacy (Whitlock, Polen, Green, Orleans, & Klein, 2004), and documentation of these elements is required to meet VA’s performance measure(Williams et al, 2014) and often facilitated with electronic clinical decision support (Williams et al, 2016). Gender was based on administrative documentation of male or female sex.…”

“…Such strategies are increasingly important for improving the quality of care and are central to the practice of medicine, but their effectiveness is under-studied. Although some qualitative evidence from a single VA region suggests that the VA's system-level approaches to brief intervention implementation may have contributed to a culture of checking boxes (Williams et al, 2016), the results of the present national study suggest some positive changes in patient-reported receipt of recommended alcohol-related advice.…”

“…Each VA facility was free to implement brief interventions as they chose and, although core components of the performance measure were required at all sites, electronic clinical reminders could be modified locally. Clinician training for conducting brief interventions was largely left to individual clinics (Williams et al, 2016).…”

“…Facilitators and barriers may need to be considered when implementing brief interventions in order to create circumstances that maximise their effectiveness. For example, a lack of understanding by individuals and organisations of the goals of brief interventions has been described as a barrier to their successful implementation,25 47 so that for maximum effectiveness of brief interventions training may be important.…”
