SBIRT in Primary Care Settings

SBIRT in Primary Care Settings

The second webinar of this series will focus on integrating the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral (SBIRT) framework as a means of supporting integrated care behavioral health. SBIRT is an evidence-based, public health approach that is used to identify, reduce and prevent risky use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. It is used primarily in community-based primary care settings to intervene early and connect individuals with behavioral issues to the appropriate treatment services. 

Presenters from the Mid-America Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) will provide a detailed overview of the SBIRT framework, including tools and resources that would support professional development of the skills necessary to implement this approach. Spectra Health, an award winning Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) in North Dakota, will illustrate SBIRT implementation from the perspective of a large community-based health center.
