After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Discuss alcohol use/misuse and the need for alcohol screening and brief intervention in college primary care settings.
  2. Describe the process of alcohol screening using evidence-based tools.

  4. Develop a rough plan for adapting alcohol SBI to participant’s current practice.

Program Abstract:
Alcohol use/misuse on college campuses continues to challenge the well-being of college students. Although prevention and education remains the cornerstone for addressing this ongoing challenge, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, as well as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Family Physicians, recommend that alcohol screening and brief intervention (SBI) be implemented for all adults in primary health care settings. This presentation will review the pragmatic and successful process of implementing alcohol SBI in primary care at Kansas State University.
