Preparing the Workforce to Implement SBIRT through Training, Technical Assistance, and Evaluation
Substance Use Screening Tools for Adolescents
A component of Using SBIRT to Talk to Adolescents about Substance Use four-part webinar series
One of the largest barriers to providing appropriate substance use services to adolescents and young adults is getting them to open up about their use and engage in conversation to reduce or eliminate it, if necessary. The Using SBIRT to Talk to Adolescents about Substance Use four-part webinar series introduces health professionals to the SBIRT model as a way to learn about their substance use, talk about what might motivate them to make a decision to reduce or abstain (if needed), and execute a plan to do so.
This first webinar in the series discusses the rationale and evidence for using the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) model with adolescents and young adults. It reviews the use of brief, validated screening tools for substance use and other risk factors, and how to score and interpret the level of risk to determine the appropriate level of brief intervention. This webinar will review the CRAFFT+N 2.1, S2BI, NIDA Modified ASSIST Levels 1 and 2, BSTAD, PHQ-2/9A, and C-SSRS.
Along with evidence-based education, the expert presenters will provide sample scripts and role plays so participants gain strategies to use right away in many settings. This free education is ideal for anyone who wishes to gain an in-depth understanding of SBIRT and its use with adolescents and young adults. It is designed for both those who are new to SBIRT and for those who want more advanced training beyond an overview.
