We sampled at random one third of those scoring at most 2 on AUDIT-C who had access to the internet and, if aged under 16, were Gillick competent or had informed consent from parent or guardian.

The principal outcomes were alcohol consumed over the 3 months before 12-month follow up, measured by AUDIT-C; and quality-adjusted life-years.FindingsBetween October 2014 and May 2015, we approached 5,016 eligible patients of whom 3,326 consented to be screened and participate in the trial; 2,571 of these were low-risk drinkers or abstainers, consuming an average 0.14 units per week. We randomised: 304 to screening only; 285 to PFBA; and 294 to PFBA and eBI. We found no significant difference between groups, notably in weekly alcohol consumption: those receiving screening only drank 0.10 units (95% confidence interval 0.05 to 0.18); PFBA 0.12 (0.06 to 0.21); PFBA and eBI 0.10 (0.05 to 0.19).InterpretationWhile drinking levels remained low in this population, this trial found no evidence that PFBA with or without eBI was more effective than screening alone in reducing or delaying alcohol consumption.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>International Journal of Drug Policy</journal><volume>93</volume><journalNumber/><paginationStart>103113</paginationStart><paginationEnd/><publisher>Elsevier BV</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>0955-3959</issnPrint><issnElectronic/><keywords>Alcohol; Alcohol screening; Brief intervention; Electronic brief intervention; Adolescent; Low risk; Emergency department; Randomised controlled trial; Effectiveness; Cost-effectiveness</keywords><publishedDay>1</publishedDay><publishedMonth>7</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2021</publishedYear><publishedDate>2021-07-01</publishedDate><doi>10.1016/j.drugpo.2021.103113</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm>Other</apcterm><funders>NIHR</funders><projectreference/><lastEdited>2024-09-24T16:08:24.1466800</lastEdited><Created>2021-01-22T11:36:59.2312618</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2"/></path><authors><author><firstname>Paolo</firstname><surname>Deluca</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Simon</firstname><surname>Coulton</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Mohammed Fasihul</firstname><surname>Alam</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Sadie</firstname><surname>Boniface</surname><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>David</firstname><surname>Cohen</surname><order>5</order></author><author><firstname>Kim</firstname><surname>Donoghue</surname><order>6</order></author><author><firstname>Eilish</firstname><surname>Gilvarry</surname><order>7</order></author><author><firstname>Eileen</firstname><surname>Kaner</surname><order>8</order></author><author><firstname>Ian</firstname><surname>Maconochie</surname><order>9</order></author><author><firstname>Paul</firstname><surname>McArdle</surname><order>10</order></author><author><firstname>Ruth</firstname><surname>McGovern</surname><order>11</order></author><author><firstname>Dorothy</firstname><surname>Newbury-Birch</surname><order>12</order></author><author><firstname>Robert</firstname><surname>Patton</surname><order>13</order></author><author><firstname>Tracy</firstname><surname>Pellatt-Higgins</surname><order>14</order></author><author><firstname>Ceri</firstname><surname>Phillips</surname><order>15</order></author><author><firstname>Thomas</firstname><surname>Phillips</surname><order>16</order></author><author><firstname>Rhys</firstname><surname>Pockett</surname><orcid>0000-0003-4135-7383</orcid><order>17</order></author><author><firstname>Ian</firstname><surname>Russell</surname><orcid>0000-0002-0069-479X</orcid><order>18</order></author><author><firstname>John</firstname><surname>Strang</surname><order>19</order></author><author><firstname>Colin</firstname><surname>Drummond</surname><order>20</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>56102__20594__c81445894d034de1ab30e0bc672a924e.pdf</filename><originalFilename>56102.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2021-08-09T17:02:30.3693630</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>1183530</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>© 2021 The Authors.
