Program Abstract:
Screening Brief Intervention Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is a technique that is used nationwide to address substance use and misuse in primary health care settings. UMBC’s University Health Services, in addition to a few other University of Maryland System schools, participated in a grant from the Hilton Foundation to implement SBIRT at every patient visit. This presentation will give an overview of SBIRT, describe the procedure for clinic implementation, clinician experience of SBIRT, and data on the students’ perspective. Additionally, I will lead a discussion on challenges, review data results, and discuss future opportunities for SBIRT in practice.
