What this trial studies

This trial tests two interventions aimed at improving patient-centered care for individuals with alcohol use symptoms within Kaiser Permanente Washington. It employs a pragmatic, cluster-randomized design involving 25 primary care clinics, which will be assigned to either usual care, a primary care intervention, or a centralized intervention. The focus is on enhancing shared decision-making and population-based management for patients experiencing unhealthy alcohol use.
