Over the past ten years, Dr. Borsari has worked to develop a research program in implementing and evaluating secondary interventions with college student drinkers. Specifically, he has implemented brief motivational interventions with students who have begun to experience problems as a result of their alcohol use. Specifically, colleges and universities have seen a large increase in the number of students referred to the administration for violation of alcohol policies. However, the wide range in the severity of offenses indicates that the majority of mandated students may not require extensive treatment. He believes that stepped care, which assigns individuals to different levels of care according to treatment response, would maximize treatment efficiency and greatly reduce the demands on campus alcohol programs. Regarding intervention-level analyses, Dr. Borsari is also investigating the in-session components of individual interventions that may be linked to subsequent behavior change (e.g., the working alliance).
In addition to his work with college students, Dr. Borsari's appointment at the Providence VAMC allows him to conduct clinical work and research in a wide range of areas. He current is working in research projects evaluating monitoring with returning veterans to encourage treatment engagement, enhancing sleep in veterans via CBT-Insomnia, and co-morbid substance use in the OIF/OEF/OND population.
