Abstract
Background/Aims Screening for alcohol and drug use has been identified as a high prevention priority for primary care by the US Preventive Services Task force; however, such screening is not routinely performed. SBIRT is a framework for population-based screening and intervention with the primary goal of reducing risky substance use before it progresses to dependence. There has been limited uptake of SBIRT in any large health system, thus the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is supporting a series of studies, led by Kaiser Permanente Colorado (KPCO), to determine strategies to promote large-scale implementation. Qualitative examination of the feasibility of implementing SBIRT in primary care settings was previously conducted at KPCO; a continuation of this work at Henry Ford (HF) and Lovelace Health System (LHS) is currently being conducted.
