Abstract
A study by Twohig et al evaluated the impact of an educational video module (EVM) on the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in hospitalized patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). This single-center prospective study involved 42 patients, and the results were compared with those of a retrospective control group. EVM increased the rates of pharmacological (50% vs 22%, P = 0.0008) and psychosocial (73.8% vs 44%, P = 0.001) treatments within 30 days post-treatment. The rate of alcohol relapse decreased significantly (7.9% vs 35.6%, P = 0.003) after the intervention. All the participants recommended the EVM. These findings suggest that standardized educational interventions can address knowledge gaps and improve treatment engagement for AUD in patients with ALD.
Core Tip: This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a 15-minute educational video module in increasing alcohol use disorder treatment rates in hospitalized patients with alcoholic liver disease. This standardized intervention addresses knowledge gaps among providers and patients, resulting in significant increases in the initiation of pharmacological and psychosocial treatment and a dramatic decrease in alcohol relapse rates. Its scalability and high acceptance make the educational video module a promising strategy for widespread implementation in healthcare systems.
