"Designing Decision Support to Enhance Emergency Care for Alcohol Use Disorder"
Despite the prevalence and severe health implications of alcohol use disorder (AUD), there is a significant gap in research specifically focused on its identification and treatment within the emergency department (ED). This proposal will facilitate improved access to AUD treatment and provide important data about an emerging, scalable implementation strategy to improve the delivery of AUD interventions. This knowledge will be used to design and pilot a subsequent comparative effectiveness trial of clinical decision support for the initiation of medications for AUD in the ED.
