New study aims to catch alcohol misuse in teens with chronic illnesses during hospital stays

NCT ID NCT07446075

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether a program called SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) can be used in hospitals to help teenagers with chronic medical conditions who may be misusing alcohol. Researchers will work with hospital staff, teens, and parents to adapt the program for inpatient units. They will then test how well it works in a small pilot study with 50 teens. The goal is to see if this approach can be successfully implemented and whether it leads to less alcohol use over time.
