To determine feasibility and acceptability of a brief pediatric emergency department (PED) prevention intervention to delay/prevent initiation of alcohol use in 12–14 yrs olds. Medically stable 1 2–14 yr olds presenting to the PED who were accompanied by a parent and who had not initiated alcohol use were eligible. Adolescents-parent dyads completed a computerized assessment and were randomized to either Brief Prevention Intervention (BPI) or Enhanced Standard Care (ESC). BPI families participated in a PED-based motivational interviewing and skill building-based session with a trained counselor. BPI parents had telephone boosters at 1 & 3 months. ESC families received standard care and adolescent substance use pamphlets. All dyads completed 6 month follow up assessments to assess alcohol use-related outcomes. 228 families were approached, 122 were eligible and 104 were enrolled (85%). Mean youth age was 13 years (SD =.83), 51% were female, and 90% of parents were females. Of the 104 enrolled, 5 withdrew; 99 (94%) completed the assessment battery in the PED in less than 30 minutes. All BPI dyads completed the counseling session in the PED. However, only 53% of BPI parents completed the booster telephone sessions. BPI acceptability items were rated favorably (82%–100%) by both parents and adolescents. There were no differences between the BPI and ESC on substance-related outcomes, although the study was not adequately powered for this purpose since it was designed as a feasibility study. A BPI in the PED is both feasible and acceptable but phone boosters proved less feasible. Larger samples and further study are needed to identify efficacy of the BPI in delaying onset of alcohol use in teens.
