Adolescent Substance Use: Contemporary Trends in Prevention and Treatment

Substance use among youth people in the US is still common and of great health significance. Whereas the 1970’s was marked by large gaps in knowledge about what contributes to the onset and course of drug use in teenagers and how to best measure and treat its signs and symptoms, the past 25 years have been characterized by a rapid growth of research in the development of evidence-based prevention and treatment approaches to address adolescent substance use. This webinar will provide a clinically-oriented overview of prevention and treatment strategies and approaches to address adolescents at risk for substance use and to address those with a substance use disorder. The presenter will focus on 1) developmental issues important when working with youth in clinical settings, 2) prevention strategies, and 3) treatment strategies.

Adolescents, Young Adults and Opioid Use: When Is It a Problem What to Do

Experimenting and pushing limits are normal developmental parts of adolescence and young adulthood. This may encompass experimenting with various substances that are easy to acquire and, unfortunately, that includes opioids. Whether they're buying pills and heroin off the street or getting prescriptions from medical professionals, how can we best prevent opioid abuse in this population and provide the best intervention and treatment when there is a problem? This webinar will explore 10 vulnerabilities to developing an opioid addiction 2) warning signs that a young person is misusing a prescription 3) conversations (that take 3 minutes or less) that can help prevent misuse of mediation and 4) various options for treatment with the pros and cons of each.

All About SBIRT for Teens

All About SBIRT for Teens

Description/Course Outline: Although there is now a range of treatment for adolescents involved with drugs, treatment services for adolescents are more the exception than the rule. Approximately 15- 25% of adolescents meet a current (prior year) definition of early-stage, mild-to-moderate drug involvement (i.e., not advanced to dependence), however most drug treatment programs do not have programs suited to address these early-stage drug using teenagers. A promising treatment option that may help to address this service gap and has high potential for application to drug abusing teenagers is the SBIRT (screening, brief intervention, referral to treatment) model. SBIRT is a comprehensive, integrated, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services for persons with substance use disorders, as well as those who are at risk of developing these disorders. This webinar will review each of the SBIRT components in terms of resources, implementation and evidence of effectiveness.

Barriers and Facilitators to SBIRT Education in Social Work, Nursing and Inter prof

Description: Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is a comprehensive, integrated, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention, treatment, and ongoing recovery supports for persons with risky and/or dependent alcohol use. Early alcohol and drug use among adolescents and young adults is linked to a range of immediate and long term consequences. Research has demonstrated that SBIRT is a promising approach for the early identification and intervention of problematic alcohol use, and there is growing evidence for its effectiveness in reducing other risky drug use. However, there is not much support for SBIRT education in undergraduate and graduate programs, despite the fact that alcohol and substance abuse prevention programs have a body of supporting evidence. Substance use education and training is often optional or specialized education, as opposed to being required course work. This presentation will focus on identifying and addressing barriers to SBIRT education for nursing and social work programs as well as inter-professional trainings. NORC at the University of Chicago has been funded by the Conrad N. Hilton foundation to increase education and training opportunities in adolescent SBIRT within undergraduate and graduate social work and nursing programs. Results from the recent needs assessment survey conducted by NORC will guide this presentation about barriers in the field for social work and nursing students, practitioners and educators. After outlining major barriers to SBIRT education, presenters will highlight resources—including curriculum, case-based virtual simulations for students and practice role plays—offered by NORC to support SBIRT education and next steps to help address these concerns.

Substance use education and training is often optional or specialized education, as opposed to being required course work. This session will focus on the value of integrating SBIRT with adolescents into nursing, social work, and inter-professional education and share ideas for integrating content and new learning resources into baccalaureate and graduate level curriculum. NORC at the University of Chicago has been funded by the Conrad N. Hilton foundation to increase education and training opportunities in adolescent SBIRT within undergraduate and graduate social work and nursing programs. In October 2014, NORC partnered with the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), Center for Clinical Social Work, and American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) to support the integration of adolescent SBIRT into required course work for students. As part of this project, NORC conducted a needs assessment and has engaged a learning collaborative (LC) of more than 70 schools to integrate adolescent SBIRT education. In addition, NORC and Kognito, a digital simulation company, have worked with the LC and experts to build a series of case-based virtual simulations to allow students, educators, and practitioners to practice substance use screening and brief interventions with adolescents.

Under the Influence and on the Clock: Opioid Misuse and the Impact on the Workplace

Description: This free webinar will explore the impact of opioid use on the workplace. It might be the 19-year-old grocery clerk, the mom who works part-time as a substitute teacher, or the physician’s assistant at the local urgent care clinic; opioid abuse reaches beyond stereotypes of “addicts and drug seekers.” The United States is confronting the deadliest drug crisis on record (CDC, 2016). Opioid prescription medications are both a health and safety issue in the workplace. Opioid medications are potent, highly addictive drugs that have the potential to cause impairment, increase the risk of workplace incidents, injuries and death, even when taken as prescribed.

WINGS: An Evidence based SBIRT Intervention for Addressing Partner Violence Among Y
01:31:24

WINGS: An Evidence based SBIRT Intervention for Addressing Partner Violence Among Y

Description: This free webinar will present recent research findings on WINGS (Women Initiating New Goals of Safety), which is an evidence-based screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) service tool that is designed to identify and address partner violence among women who use drugs or alcohol. WINGS may be delivered using a computerized self-paced tool or by a service provider. These two different modalities of WINGS have recently been evaluated in a randomized controlled trial with substance-using women with promising results. This webinar will provide an overview and demonstration of the core components of WINGS and how they may be adapted for young women who use drugs and alcohol to address the broader spectrum of gender-based violence (GBV) that they are likely to experience (i.e., intimate partner violence, dating violence and sexual violence by acquaintances, internet hook up partners, drug dealers, pimps, paying clients and others). WINGS is a single session one-hour intervention, which includes the following core components: (1) providing brief psycho-education to raise awareness on the different types of partner violence that substance-using women are likely to experience; (2) screening for different types of partner violence using a standardized tool and providing feedback on risks based on screening results; (3) increasing motivation and commitment for reducing risks for partner violence using brief motivational interviewing; (4) developing a safety plan to increase physical and sexual safety and reduce risks of experiencing partner violence; (5) enhancing social support and identifying services to reduce risks for partner violence; and (6) setting realistic goals and developing an action plan to improve safety and address violence. This seminar will also discuss organizational strategies for implementing WINGS with young women who use drugs or alcohol.

Description: This free webinar will present recent research findings on WINGS (Women Initiating New Goals of Safety), which is an evidence-based screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment and service (SBIRT) tool designed for women who use drugs or alcohol. WINGS may be delivered using a computerized self-paced tool or by a case manager. These two different modalities of WINGS have recently been evaluated in a randomized controlled trial with substance-using women in community corrections with promising results. This webinar will provide an overview and demonstration of the core components of WINGS, a single session one-hour intervention, which include: (1) providing brief psycho-education to raise awareness on the different types of IPV that substance-using women are likely to experience and how substance use of the women or partner may trigger IPV and how the experience IPV may trigger drug use; (2) screening for different types of IPV using a standardize tool and provide feedback on risks for IPV based on screening results; (3) increasing motivation and commitment for reducing risks for IPV and improving relationship safety using brief motivational interviewing; (4) developing a safety plan considering substance use-related risks for IPV; (5) enhancing social support from family and friends to address IPV and (6) setting realistic goals and developing an action plan to improve relationship safety. This seminar will also discuss organizational strategies for implementing WINGS. PProduced by NORC at the University of Chicago More information: https://www.sbirteducation.com/

Strategies for Incorporating Universal Education about Healthy Relationships to Red

Description: Intimate partner violence impacts an estimated one in four women across the lifespan, resulting in numerous mental, physical and reproductive health consequences. Evidence suggests that brief clinical interventions focused on providing universal education about healthy relationships, routine inquiry about violence exposure, and brief counseling may be promising strategies for increasing awareness about violence, reducing isolation survivors feel, and, in some populations, reducing violence victimization. Dr. McCauley will present findings from her work with Dr. Elizabeth Miller on evaluating brief clinical interventions in college and high school-based health centers and provide strategies for providers to incorporate into their clinical practice.

Using SBIRT when Intimate Partner Violence has been Disclosed
01:31:23

Using SBIRT when Intimate Partner Violence has been Disclosed

Description: Substance use and the experience of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) are often seen together. Furthermore, the temporal relationship between IPV and substance use is bidirectional: substance use can put individuals at increased risk of experiencing IPV in a relationship and individuals experiencing IPV are at risk of using substances and developing substance use disorders. While continued research is needed, it seems evident that at some point following a disclosure of IPV, individuals should be screened for substance use. SBIRT, an evidence based approach to assess risk levels associated with substance use, employing a brief intervention with at risk use, may be influential in improving the safety and health of individuals experiencing IPV, as well as preventing the development of substance use disorders. This brief intervention also supports women identified in high-risk substance use categories with harm reduction strategies and when appropriate, referrals for substance use treatment. This webinar will discuss the context for introducing SBIRT when intimate partner violence has been disclosed. We will address its use in different clinical settings and important considerations before implementing SBIRT with individuals who have disclosed IPV. Considerations and limitations of the model for use with IPV will also be presented. Produced by NORC at the University of Chicago More information: https://www.sbirteducation.com/

Special Populations: SBIRT and Marijuana Use and SBIRT and Child bearing Age Women

Recently, Colorado has expanded its successful approach to two specific populations. Namely, health educators in SBIRT Colorado healthcare sites are screening for and providing brief interventions to 1) sexually active women of childbearing age who are not using effective contraception, with the goal of preventing substance-exposed pregnancies; and 2) patients misusing marijuana in a state with a voter-approved medical marijuana program (Colorado is one of 16 states with legalized medical marijuana). In this webinar, representatives from the SBIRT Colorado team, including the state director, program implementation staff, and an evaluator discussed reviewing what they have learned about their efforts to-date. Presenters shared findings from their efforts to answer research questions from a projected 10,000 screens such as: How ready to change are women after receiving a brief intervention in response to their risky behaviors? Does readiness to change depend upon the substances being used, the age of the patient, or other demographic factors? What percentage of patients screened in healthcare settings through the SBIRT program are using marijuana? How ready are patients to change their marijuana use after receiving a brief intervention in response to risky use? Does readiness to change depend upon whether patients have a state-issued medical marijuana card? Presenters also reviewed the larger program goals of SBIRT and discussed why Colorado has expanded its SBIRT program to these specific populations.

Under the Influence and on the Clock: Opioid Misuse and the Impact on the Workplace

Description: This free webinar will explore the impact of opioid use on the workplace. It might be the 19-year-old grocery clerk, the mom who works part-time as a substitute teacher, or the physician’s assistant at the local urgent care clinic; opioid abuse reaches beyond stereotypes of “addicts and drug seekers.” The United States is confronting the deadliest drug crisis on record (CDC, 2016). Opioid prescription medications are both a health and safety issue in the workplace. Opioid medications are potent, highly addictive drugs that have the potential to cause impairment, increase the risk of workplace incidents, injuries and death, even when taken as prescribed.

Applying SBIRT to Depression, Prescription Medication Abuse, Tobacco Use, Trauma an

Description: Behavioral risks and disorders are responsible for 40% of deaths, $300 billion in healthcare costs, and $600 billion in additional expenditures yearly in the United States. The US Preventive Services Task Force and other authorities recommend screening and intervention for tobacco, alcohol, drugs, depression, and obesity, but few healthcare settings deliver these services in an evidence-based manner. The major barrier is provider and staff time. With funding from SAMHSA and AHRQ since 2006, the Wisconsin Initiative to Promote Healthy Lifestyles and its spin-off, Wellsys, LLC, have helped dozens of clinics implement systematic behavioral screening and intervention (BSI). WIPHL and Wellsys help clinics hire staff to serve as "health educators," provide training and ongoing development for health educators, support clinics on modifying workflow and documentation flow, and offer software to guide clinical service delivery, automate business practices and conduct population health management. Over 150,000 patients have been screened, and behavioral outcomes parallel those attained in prior randomized controlled trials. Now under CDC funding, BSI is expanding to improve outcomes for diabetes, hypertension and lipid disorders. Please join us to learn why and how you might consider implementing BSI in your healthcare setting. Produced by NORC at the University of Chicago More information: https://www.sbirteducation.com/

National Drug Control Strategy & SBIRT Lessons in Research, Business and Politics

On April 24, 2013, Deputy Director for Demand Reduction David Mineta participated in a Web-based live event on the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Hospital Learning Collaborative sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National SBIRT Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC). IRETA and NORC at the University of Chicago lead this important effort to move screening and treatment of substance use conditions into mainstream medicine. The SBIRT Hospital Learning Collaborative involves all hospital stakeholders to include administrators, all hospital staff, residency programs, SBIRT grantees, professional medical association representatives and accrediting organizations. The President's Drug Control Strategy details actions to implement the Affordable Care Act, which -- for the first time in history -- ends discrimination against people with substance use disorders by requiring insurance companies to cover treatment for substance use disorders as they would for any other chronic disease. SBIRT is an approach for identifying people with substance use disorders in any health setting. Tom McLellan, Chief Executive Officer, Treatment Research Institute, and perhaps the most internationally renowned substance use researcher, discussed three separate SBIRT-type projects that the Treatment Research Institute (TRI) has engineered to mesh with the specific cultures and workflows of health settings so that SBIRT creates value and minimizes hassles. Tom did not report randomized controlled trials, but rather a series of formative evaluations. Three scenarios described: 1) SBIRT in the breast cancer ward of a university medical center; 2) SBIRT in middle and high schools in NYC; and 3) Brief interventions (screening not necessary) for seriously addicted, repeat hospital utilizers at the time of discharge -- helping to reduce rapid rehospitalizations. McLellan's presentation was provocative, thought provoking and stimulating. Produced by NORC at the University of Chicago More information: https://www.sbirteducation.com/

Special Populations: SBIRT and Marijuana Use and SBIRT and Child bearing Age Women

Recently, Colorado has expanded its successful approach to two specific populations. Namely, health educators in SBIRT Colorado healthcare sites are screening for and providing brief interventions to 1) sexually active women of childbearing age who are not using effective contraception, with the goal of preventing substance-exposed pregnancies; and 2) patients misusing marijuana in a state with a voter-approved medical marijuana program (Colorado is one of 16 states with legalized medical marijuana). In this webinar, representatives from the SBIRT Colorado team, including the state director, program implementation staff, and an evaluator discussed reviewing what they have learned about their efforts to-date. Presenters shared findings from their efforts to answer research questions from a projected 10,000 screens such as: How ready to change are women after receiving a brief intervention in response to their risky behaviors? Does readiness to change depend upon the substances being used, the age of the patient, or other demographic factors? What percentage of patients screened in healthcare settings through the SBIRT program are using marijuana? How ready are patients to change their marijuana use after receiving a brief intervention in response to risky use? Does readiness to change depend upon whether patients have a state-issued medical marijuana card? Presenters also reviewed the larger program goals of SBIRT and discussed why Colorado has expanded its SBIRT program to these specific populations.

The BIG Hospital Initiative SBIRT Webinar 1/23/13

Title: Hospital Alcoholism Consult Program at Gosnold on Cape Cod; Early State: Early Intervention for Substance Use in Pregnancy Description: Raymond Tamasi, CEO of the substance use treatment program Gosnold on Cape Cod, presents the first year results of an exceptionally promising collaboration between Falmouth Hospital and Gosnold. Here is a teaser: Liaison-nurses from Gosnold conducted withdrawal consultations for medically-ill patients on Falmouth inpatient services. Of the first 115 patients counseled, only 10% of patient required transfer to the Intensive Care Unit, compared with 50% ICU referrals previously. Average length of hospital stay among consult patients was 6.2 days, less than half the 14.7 days of comparable patients prior to the start of the consultation program. ALOS for withdrawal consult patients referred to the ICU was 2½ times that of patients whose treatment was confined to a med-surg floor. Few patients had an admissions diagnosis of substance use disorder, and 35% of the patients who received withdrawal consultations had an admission diagnosis of a gastrointestinal disorder. Nearly half (44%) of patients accepted a referral to an addiction specialty program following the inpatient counseling intervention. Nancy Goler, MD, directs the Early Start program, an innovative, effective and cost-effective screening, brief intervention and follow-up program for substance using pregnant women that has been operating at Kaiser Permanente Northern California since 1990. Dr. Goler describes the program and the clinical and cost/benefit results, as well as the training & technical support resources necessary and available to replicate the program. This is a terrific demonstration of delivering screening, brief intervention and follow up for a high risk population. It is highly adaptable for hospitals with large OB/GYN ambulatory programs, Accountable Care Organizations, HMOs, and other settings serving pregnant women.

Integrating Grief and Loss Conversations into the SBIRT Model

According to the Dougy Center: The National Center for Grieving Children and Families, individuals cope with losses in different ways; therefore, there is no right or wrong way to grieve. In adolescents and young adults, feelings of loss and grief can develop from many things beyond a loved one's physical death, such as loss of developmental experiences or milestones. This webinar will explore the various definitions and components of grief and loss and how it can manifest in adolescents and young adults. Using the SBIRT model, participants will learn to identify warning signs and screen for complicated grief in adolescents and young adults, conduct a brief intervention, and link them to appropriate resources for further treatment, including substance use and depression. The presenter will also outline protective and mitigating factors to help adolescents and young adults cope with grief and loss.

Drugs are a Local Phenomenon for LGBTQ Populations Implications for SBIRT

Description/Course Outline: The 2011 Institute of Medicine report titled “The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People” argues persuasively that there is a need for more attention to these subpopulations from clinical, research and policy perspectives. In support of this broad goal, this webinar examines the ways that drugs are experienced as local phenomena in the LGBTQ community, reviews the methods for working with LGBTQ populations within a minority-stress model, and discusses implications of these perspectives on the implementation of SBIRT. Together these models and approaches will be presented within a general health disparities framework. Produced by NORC at the University of Chicago More information: https://www.sbirteducation.com/

Promoting SBIRT in an Interprofessional Setting with Vulnerable Populations

Description: SBIRT is an evidence-based practice that can be used in a wide variety of settings with different populations. This free webinar will discuss how SBIRT is being implemented in different settings with vulnerable populations within an interprofessional context. Settings include a primary/behavioral health clinic staffed by faculty and students providing bridge care to uninsured immigrant populations, a foodbank, and shelters for men and women who are homeless. The presenters will explore benefits and challenges to implementing SBIRT in interprofessional settings. In addition, special attention will be directed toward SBIRT implementation with vulnerable populations. Addressing cultural variables and those that directly impact the social determinants of health require innovative strategies to promote behavioral change. Exploration of faculty and student roles along with curriculum support for SBIRT implementation in these settings will be explored.

Integrating Adolescent Substance Abuse SBIRT throughout Nursing, Social Work, and I

Description: Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is a comprehensive, integrated, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention, treatment, and ongoing recovery supports for persons with risky and/or dependent alcohol use. Early alcohol and drug use among adolescents and young adults is linked to a range of immediate and long term consequences. Research has demonstrated that SBIRT is a promising approach for the early identification and intervention of problematic alcohol use, and there is growing evidence for its effectiveness in reducing other risky drug use. However, there is not much support for SBIRT education in undergraduate and graduate programs, despite the fact that alcohol and substance abuse prevention programs have a body of supporting evidence. Substance use education and training is often optional or specialized education, as opposed to being required course work. This session will focus on the value of integrating SBIRT with adolescents into nursing, social work, and inter-professional education and share ideas for integrating content and new learning resources into baccalaureate and graduate level curriculum. NORC at the University of Chicago has been funded by the Conrad N. Hilton foundation to increase education and training opportunities in adolescent SBIRT within undergraduate and graduate social work and nursing programs. In October 2014, NORC partnered with the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), Center for Clinical Social Work, and American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) to support the integration of adolescent SBIRT into required course work for students. As part of this project, NORC conducted a needs assessment and has engaged a learning collaborative (LC) of more than 70 schools to integrate adolescent SBIRT education. In addition, NORC and Kognito, a digital simulation company, have worked with the LC and experts to build a series of case-based virtual simulations to allow students, educators, and practitioners to practice substance use screening and brief interventions with adolescents.
