Abstract: Screening and brief intervention (SBI) for alcohol is a requirement for trauma center verification in some states, but not for drug use, despite its associated harm to the individual and society. This study assessed the effectiveness of, and the role injury severity place in, SBI on drug-using patients admitted to a trauma center. Results indicate drug-using patients benefited from brief intervention as much as alcohol-using patients and injury severity does not change SBI efficacy. However, drug-using patients are less likely to report use than those using alcohol, no matter how severely injured. Implications for SBI in trauma care are discussed.
