Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention Action Kit
Alcohol-related problems are common in patients seen by primary care providers. Although most adults drink safely, some 25,000 New Yorkers are hospitalized for alcohol-related illness and injury each year, and more than 1,500 die. An estimated 15% of adult New Yorkers—nearly 900,000 people—report excessive drinking.
