Abstract
Vermont has a higher rate of excessive alcohol consumption than the national average, and Chittenden County has the highest rate of excessive drinking in Vermont. The literature shows Brief Interventions done by PCPs may decrease risky alcohol consumption significantly. A module based on statistics, literature on Brief Interventions, and local provider interviews was developed and created in order to educate providers in Vermont and Chittenden county in particular on the data and how to do a Brief Intervention. This may make PCPs more knowledgeable about the issue and more comfortable with providing Brief Interventions on their own.
