Topic: Alcohol
One of the first steps in ensuring people receive appropriate interventions and referral to treatment for alcohol use disorder or risky drinking behaviors is to effectively identify these high-risk individuals. This training will discuss the rationale for screening patients for alcohol use and identify validated screening tools. We will also review how to administer these tools in the clinical setting and provide strategies for how to engage patients in shared discussions surrounding their alcohol use.

Topic: Alcohol
The holiday season can be challenging and stressful when navigating the pressures associated with this time of the year. For many, alcohol consumption significantly increases between Thanksgiving and New Year's for a variety of reasons, including family dynamics, increased social gatherings, holiday traditions, and increased feelings of loneliness, sadness, or isolation. This training will review strategies on how to avoid or reduce alcohol consumption as well as techniques for how to talk about one's alcohol use during a particularly stressful time of year.

Topic: Alcohol
Individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) often face stigma in accessing care and treatment, and this is one reason why only a small minority of people with AUD seek treatment. This training will discuss the interplay between stigma and health outcomes among those with AUD. We will also differentiate how stigma from alcohol use may differ from stigma associated with other use disorders. Emphasis will be placed on utilizing person-first language as a tool to help mitigate stigma among those with AUD.
