Adapting the Grog survey app for alcohol screening and feedback in aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services: a mixed methods study protocol
The project will produce a novel, culturally appropriate digital health tool and implementation resources to make it easier to conduct routine alcohol screening in primary care contexts for a priority population, which may lead to increased screening and alcohol care rates. It will also provide first-ever contextual data about implementation of new health service improvement strategy focused on an electronic alcohol consumption screening tool, which is lacking in peer-reviewed literature. This study will also provide an important evidence base for using continuous quality improvement as an implementation approach in primary care settings.
