This study is looking at ways to help people reduce their alcohol use before and after surgery to improve their health. It's testing different approaches: "Enhanced Usual Care" (standard care with a health resource brochure), "Preoperative Virtual Health Coaching" (two coaching sessions before surgery), "Postoperative Virtual Health Coaching" (coaching after surgery), and "On-Track" (a mobile and web tool for managing alcohol use). You might be able to join if you are between 21 and 75 years old, are scheduled for certain major elective surgeries, and score 5 or higher on a specific alcohol use questionnaire (AUDIT-C). The main goal is to see how these interventions affect alcohol consumption 10 months after surgery.
