Comments
This research contributes to the limited literature on alcohol counseling disparities in chronic disease management. The study's use of nationally representative data and the Social Ecological Model framework provides comprehensive insights into multilevel factors affecting counseling practices. Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve provider counseling rates, particularly among younger adults and those with better perceived health status. The research supports evidence-based policy recommendations for integrating alcohol screening and counseling into routine chronic disease care protocols.
