Summary

This study tests a program to help doctors in psychiatric clinics prescribe medications for alcohol use disorder to patients who also have serious mental illness. The program uses an external facilitator to work with clinic staff and overcome barriers to prescribing. The goal is to see if this approach increases the number of eligible patients who receive these medications.
