| Methods | Design: Randomized control trial |
| Setting: Not specified, United States | |
| Follow up: 6 months | |
| Participants | Population: Homeless women with alcohol use problems |
| Sample size: Total sample n = 82, Intervention n = 42, Control n = 40 | |
| Interventions | Intervention: |
| Project RENEWAL intervention: Intervention patients received the guideline‐based Primary Care Provider brief intervention for problem alcohol use, and referral to the CM for ongoing follow‐up visits for 6 months. | |
| 1) providing evidence‐based training and supports to the medical leadership and randomized intervention PCPs; | |
| 2) modifying the electronic medical record (EMR) to provide alcohol screening results and alcohol‐specific notes for PCP and care manager (CM) visits; and | |
| 3) training a CM specifically designated to provide intervention participants with alcohol education materials, ongoing self‐management support, linkage to formal addiction treatment services and self‐help groups, and wellness counseling and goal setting. | |
| Comparator: | |
| Usual care: Usual care patients did not receive referrals to, or outreach from, the study‐trained CM, and their PCPs were not provided any alcohol intervention training or patient materials. They delivered usual care for medical conditions, including any behavioral health or drug or alcohol use problems | |
| Outcomes | Housing stability, Mental health, Substance use |
