Abstract

Background Most healthcare professional training programs lack sufficient curricula on substance use[1-3], and even fewer provide students the opportunity to practice screening and brief intervention (BI) in a clinical setting. The University of Missouri-Kansas City Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (UMKC-SBIRT) training project educates baccalaureate nursing (BSN), doctorate of nursing practice (DNP), and master of social work (MSW) students through didactics, role plays with classmates, standardized patient practice, and clinical experience to help students achieve competency.

  • Implementation packets were distributed to students with resources and instructions tailored to fit the varied needs of the programs and clinical sites

  • Clinical practice was supervised by SBIRT-trained clinical preceptors when possible or self-evaluated by students using the Brief Intervention Observation Sheet fidelity scale
