Integrating Substance Abuse Assessment & Intervention in Primary Care Settings

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Drug Use, Alcohol Use

In brief

The purposes of this study are to: 1) implement a high fidelity Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) protocol with computerized screening technology into three primary care clinics in urban Philadelphia; 2) conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine if an expanded SBIRT (SBIRT+) will help patients attend more specialty substance abuse treatment sessions and reduce substance use compared to SBIRT; 3) conduct a process evaluation of SBIRT+ at the three collaborating clinics consisting of focus groups and structured interviews to assess implementation barriers and workforce attitudinal shifts; and 4) provide an excellent clinical research training environment for undergraduate and graduate students from Lincoln University.
