Explain the importance of screening for at-risk drinking in primary care settings.

Identify the components of an effective SBIRT system in the primary care setting.

Demonstrate a brief intervention with at-risk, and possibly-dependent drinkers.

What is SBIRT?

4

Screening quickly assesses the severity of substance use and identifies the appropriate level of treatment.

Brief Intervention focuses on increasing insight and awareness regarding substance use and motivation toward behavioral change.

Referral to Treatment provides those identified as needing more extensive treatment with access to specialty care.

SECSAT www.sbirtonline.org

Background- started in 1980’s

5

Substance abuse screening tests developed (CAGE, MAST-Michigan Alcohol Screening Test, DAST-Drug Abuse Screening Test)

Seminal study by Russell et al. demonstrated the significance of physician advice to help patients quit smoking

Swedish research showed screening plus brief intervention in primary care setting could benefit risky drinkers

WHO expanded research initiative

Babor et al. FOCUS 2011 SECSAT www.sbirtonline.org

SBIRT - 25 years later

6

Overall > 100 trials have demonstrated efficacy and cost-effectiveness of SBIRT in emergency departments, primary care settings and trauma centers

Since 2008, SAMHSA has funded 17 medical residency cooperatives to disseminate SBIRT throughout graduate medical education

Brief Intervention Works!

16

SBIRT meta-analyses & reviews:

More than 34 randomized controlled trials

Focused primarily on at-risk and problem drinkers

Result in 10-30% reduction in alcohol consumption at 12 months

et al, 2009 SECSAT www.sbirtonline.org

2013 USPSTF Review

17

23 randomized controlled trials reviewed (11 U.S.)

In general, show that primary care interventions reduce binge drinking Meta-analysis 7 trials

12% fewer patients reported no risky drinking episodes at 1 year follow-up

Meta-analysis 10 trials Reduced average weekly consumption from 23 to 19 drinks

Meta-analysis 3 trials (younger/ college-age) Reduced frequency of heavy drinking days by one per month at

6-month follow-up

“…adequate evidence that numerous screening instruments can detect alcohol misuse in adults with acceptable sensitivity and specificity”

“…adequate evidence that brief behavioral counseling interventions are effective in reducing heavy drinking episodes…. These interventions also reduce weekly alcohol consumption…”

SBIRT Can Be Effectively Implemented in Primary Care

19

Effective models exist for implementing screening and brief intervention in residency training.

Trained clinicians typically intervene with more than 70% of patients.

Seale et al, 2005; Adams et al, 1998

Key to Implementation: Systems Approach Targeting Both The Clinicians & Office System

20

Train clinicians & clinic staff in SBIRT

Create office system that will support SBIRT Screening & prompting system

Assessment instruments

Reminder system for re-assessment & reinforcement

1. “Do you sometimes drink beer, wine, or liquor?”

2. “How many times in the past year have you had more than x drinks in a day?”

X = 4 for men

PATIENT: Because alcohol use can affect your health and can interfere with certain medications and

treatments, it is important that we ask some more questions about your use of alcohol. If we find that you are drinking more than you or we feel is good for you, we have some services right here that can help you

take better care of yourself. Your answers will remain confidential so please be honest.

“On a scale of 0-10, how important is it that you cut back or quit your alcohol/drug use?”

If >0, “Why that number and not a lower one?” [Use rulers to also ask about confidence, readiness]

“Have you ever considered cutting back or quitting?” If so, “Why?” If not, “What would have to happen for you to

consider cutting back/quitting?”

Provide Advice Refer to chart on front of card in providing advice to quit or cut down as per NIH guidelines (or offer advice to quit or cut back

drug use).
