What is SBIRT?
6Guiding Communities to a Vibrant Future
• Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment
• A simple, quick, empirically derived tool for identifying youth at risk for alcohol-related problems
• The screening questions and risk scale are powerful predictors of current and future negative consequences of alcohol use.
• The brevity, ease of use, and predictive strength of this tool will enable health care practitioners to detect alcohol risks and prevent harm at the earliest possible stage.
Why is it important?
7Guiding Communities to a Vibrant Future
• Underage drinking is common
• Over the course of adolescence, the proportion of kids who drank in the previous year rises
• Dangerous binge drinking is common and increases with age as well
• Underage drinking is risky
• Drinking in adolescence is associated with increased risk for alcohol dependence later in life
• Heavy drinking in adolescence may result in long-lasting functional and structural changes in the brain
Research, continued
• Underage drinking is a marker for other unhealthy behaviors
• Underage drinking often goes undetected
• The majority of clinicians do not follow professional guidelines to screen all of their adolescent patients for alcohol use
• Brief alcohol interventions for adolescents in clinical settings indicated that motivational interviewing appeared more successful than other types of interventions and that even a single session can have positive effects

Rationale for implementation through schools
9Guiding Communities to a Vibrant Future
• Universal SBIRT
• An advantage of delivering SBIRT in schools is the potential to reach a large proportion of the adolescent population in one venue
Benefits and Challenges
• Informed Consent
• Scheduling SBIRT within Schools
• Screening Protocol
• Referral to Treatment

• Learn about SBIRT and motivational interviewing• Create your implementation plan• Technical Assistance• Toolkit
Advocacy – What’s Next?
We believe SBIRT should be practiced universally with every 6-12 grade student:
• Tell your school district administrators about this practice.
• Engage your school nurses and counselors and treatment partner.
• Engage your ESC.
• Have a conversation with regional and statewide School Nurses Association
• Visit your state legislator
