prevention and population-focused interventions for vulnerable populations

Purpose

Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is
an evidence-based practice intervention used to identify, reduce, and
prevent problematic use, abuse, and dependence on substances such as
tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. The SBIRT model was incited by an
Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendation that called for
community-based screening for health-risk behaviors. The purpose of this
assignment is to integrate SBIRT into nursing practice to help
stimulate positive change at the individual and population-focused level
of care.

Background information

SBIRT consists of three major components.

1. Screening—A healthcare professional assesses a
patient for concerning behaviors using standardized screening tools.
Screening can occur in any healthcare setting.

2. Brief Intervention—A healthcare professional
engages a patient in a short conversation, providing feedback and advice
regarding concerning behaviors.

3. Referral to Treatment—A healthcare professional
provides a referral to resources and/or treatment options and additional
services available (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration [SAMHSA], n.d.)

   • Alcohol
   • Drug use (addictive prescription or illicit) 
     • You must be specific to which drug you are choosing
2. You are required to use one of the problems listed above.
   Assignments that do not follow the current guidelines or use the
   required forms or templates will be evaluated for evidence of an
   academic integrity violation. After the due date, there will be no
   opportunity for revision or resubmission of assignments that have been
   uploaded to the submission area. It is your responsibility to submit the
   correct assignment to the correct submission area.
3. After you have chosen the addiction/problem, you are to research
   SBIRT training specific to that addiction/problem. Before starting to
   work on the presentation, it is vital you understand how SBIRT is used
   with that particular addiction/problem. You must find at least two
   scholarly resources (other than readings assigned in the course) and one
   video resource. Search YouTube for one SBIRT training video from a
   reputable source that shows a provider using SBIRT with a patient. Watch
   this video so that you understand the steps of SBIRT.
4. You may choose to complete this assignment as a PowerPoint poster or PowerPoint multiple slide presentation. Download the SBIRT PowerPoint poster (Links to an external site.) or slide presentation template (Links to an external site.).
