Reduce Excessive Drinking and Save Lives
Excessive drinking is the leading risk factor for injury in the United States and the third leading cause of preventable death, accounting for one death every 7 minutes.
Screening and Brief Interventions (SBI) can help people who drink too much make changes that reduce the chances that they hurt themselves or someone else, so they can continue to live life to the fullest.
See the CDC Injury Center Director's View Blog for research and resources on offering SBI at the right place, to the right people, and at the right time.
