      The purpose of this research is to examine the effectiveness of computerized alcohol&#xD;
      screening and brief intervention in the UC Irvine Medical Center Emergency Department (ED)&#xD;
      and Trauma Patients. Brief interventions have a high potential impact in ED and Trauma&#xD;
      populations. Computerized alcohol screening and brief intervention (CASI) is a fast and easy&#xD;
      to use tool for patients and healthcare providers. CASI mitigates barriers to proper&#xD;
      screening and intervention, including time, availability of trained personnel, patient&#xD;
      comfort, and language barriers. CASI provides the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test&#xD;
      (AUDIT) followed by a brief intervention and customized alcohol intake recomendations for the&#xD;
      patient.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The intervention of this study will be the addition of a brief CASI questionnaire to the&#xD;
      standard of care for a random subset of subjects. All subjects who screen positive for&#xD;
      hazardous alcohol use will be followed up and reassessed for alcohol use. The researchers&#xD;
      hypothesize that the addition of CASI will lead to a decrease in alcohol intake within three&#xD;
      months. The basis of this research is evidence of the effectiveness in the CASI system, the&#xD;
      growing public health issue of alcohol abuse, the need to be able to provide effective&#xD;
      screening and brief intervention in the high volume ED settings, and findings that the&#xD;
      primary method to reduce traumatic death is prevention.&#xD;
