Core Tip	Twohig et al demonstrate that a novel educational video module (EVM) significantly increases engagement with both pharmacologic (50% vs 22%) and psychosocial (73.8% vs 44%) treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD), while markedly reducing 30-day return to alcohol use (7.9% vs 35.6%) among hospitalized patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. These findings underscore the potential of a standardized EVM to bridge critical knowledge gaps and empower patients, offering a scalable tool to address the treatment gap in AUD. Future research should explore the long-term impact of this intervention on liver-related outcomes and its effectiveness in broader, more diverse patient populations.
