Perspectives in implementing a primary care-based intervention to reduce alcohol misuse.
This study, Options Regarding Consumption of Alcohol (ORCA), was designed to test whether a primary care-based intervention would reduce alcohol misuse among patients who screened positive for risky or hazardous drinking. This paper assesses the study features using the Pragmatic-Explanatory Continuum Indicator Summary Model domains. As a randomized trial, the study included some explanatory features (e.g., standardized follow-up surveys administered by study personnel); however, several aspects of the study were highly pragmatic.
