Training Goals
The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (COT) requires that Level I and Level II trauma centers have a mechanism to identify problem drinkers and, in addition, requires Level I centers have the capability to provide brief interventions for screen-positive patients. This training is designed to provide trauma care providers with the necessary skills to effectively integrate alcohol screening and brief intervention (SBI) into routine trauma care services.
