SBIRT for Medical and Behavioral Health Professionals

The BIG Hospital Initiative hosted by NORC at the University of Chicago is a Learning Collaborative to expand SBIRT to medical and behavioral health professionals and beyond. Through funding from the National SBIRT-ATTC, a SAMHSA-funded center that provides information on the latest research-based best practices related to SBIRT and coordinates national efforts to advance SBIRT, this project was able to offer an SBIRT Suite of Services for an interdisciplinary audience.

​

Through this project, The BIG Hospital SBIRT:

• Offers training, technical assistance, and a variety of services in the area of SBIRT;

• Uses the technology transfer model to move research findings into practice;

• Disseminates best practices and new research to stakeholders interested in SBIRT; and

• Is part of a national network of experts in the area of substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery.
