Implementation of screening and brief intervention in accident and emergency departments: challenges and solutions
Paolo Deluca, PhDInstitute of Psychiatry, King’s College London
AED study design• 9 AEDs, 3 regions (NE, London, SE)• 3 screening approaches (M-SASQ, SIPS-PAT, FAST)• 3 intervention approaches
– Patient information leaflet– Brief advice (5 min)– Referral to Alcohol Health Worker BLC (20 min)
• 1,179 patients (131 each)• Baseline research interview• 6 & 12 month follow-up research interview• Attitudes, barriers and facilitators factors
Attitudes, barriers and facilitators factors
• The Shortened Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Questionnaire (SAAPPQ)
• Training and experience in dealing with AUDs• Multiple choice assessment• Feedback questions• Implementation questionnaire• T1 vs T2 vs T3
How do we assess implementation?
• Number screened, positives, received intervention
• Factors supporting implementation• Factors impeding implementation• Impact: individual, service, costs and benefits• Acceptability: patient, practitioner,
commissioner• Sustainability
Overview recruitment
• Recruited 9 A&Es – Royal Ham., St Thomas, King’s, North Mid, Central Mid, Newcastle Gen, Darlington Mem., Hexham, South Tyneside.
• Trained 250 (range 5-84) staff (nurses and consultants)
• Recruiting participants from April 08 to April 09• 1202 (102%)

Training A&E staff• On site training to small and large groups delivered by
RA & AHW • 1 to 2 hrs for screening and BA including role play• No BLC training• Overall positive feedback on training. Research
elements and Units are usually the challenging parts of the training
• Most welcomed receiving training• Adequate space, staff availability, “on call”, turnover,
time and implementation issues slowed training• Booster sessions, launch events, shadowing staff first
few weeks
SAAPPQ
• Staff’s attitude and motivation• SAAPPQ assesses differences in five areas:
– Role adequacy– Role legitimacy– Motivation– Task-specific self-esteem– Work satisfaction
SAAPPQ between groups(preliminary findings)
– Overall A&E staff score significantly better than PHC and CJS staff respectively (p = .000)
– Role security• Staff in A&Es score significantly better that PHC
and CJS respectively– Therapeutic commitment
• Staff in A&Es score significantly better that PHC and CJS respectively
SAAPPQ within group (T1 vs T2)(preliminary findings)
– Overall A&E staff score significantly better than before the training (p = .000). In particular:
– Role security• Staff in A&Es score significantly better after
training (p = .02) – Therapeutic commitment
• Staff in A&Es score significantly better after training (p = .000)
A&E Implementation issues• Protocol: Leaflet-eligibility-screening-informed
consent-baseline-intervention• Ideally delivered by same person (except BLC) in
practice divided by triage/nurses and doctors• Strong local lead (champion)• Consent and contact details put some participants off• Workload/time• Staff turnover (eg August)• Easily forget training if start is delayed• Tendency of targeting dependent drinkers• Weekly support
Implementation issues for screening and BI
• Workload/time• Language/communication barriers• Too intoxicated patients• Patients not wanting to engage
• Time/staffing/resources• Unwillingness of patients to engage• Space/privacy to deliver intervention• No dedicated alcohol health worker/internal A&E
service to refer to.• Dealing with presenting problem
Changes to improve recruitment
• Extra support to staff• Incentives (MHRN)• Deployment of Alcohol Health Workers to
conduct also screening, BA and research assistants to support baseline activities

Conclusions• Prevalence of AUDs reflect previous studies in
these settings• Patients are more willing to receive an
intervention than previous studies• Overall staff in these settings are keen to be
trained, have positive attitude and motivation • However, limited time, workload, lack of
privacy and turnover are limiting implementation
• Need for support or dedicated AHWs
