Abstract

Objectives: To develop an interprofessional training on the use of SBIRT (screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment) to address substance misuse.

Method: Pharmacy, nursing, and mental health counseling faculty along with a local motivational interviewing expert developed a 4 hour on-line motivational interviewing and SBIRT training module and a 6 hour interprofessional education (IPE) training day content. The IPE training day consisted of a variety of exercises designed towards an integrated model of care including an ice breaker discussion about drug and alcohol use, three SBIRT clinical implementation videos, a patient testimonial about their personal experience with drug and alcohol abuse, SBIRT application using a standardized patient (SP) case, and facilitated group SBIRT interview debriefing. Students completed a five point Likert scale SAMHSA survey to assess course quality, practice relevance, information usefulness, and effectiveness.

Results: One hundred and fifteen students completed the spring 2016 training and 97 students submitted their evaluation. Overall course quality satisfaction was 69% (strongly agree/agree), 24% (neutral), and 7% (strongly disagree/disagree). Perceived practice relevance was 81% (strongly agree/agree), 15% (neutral), and 3% (strongly disagree/disagree). Usefulness of course information was 76% (strongly agree/agree), 20% (neutral), and 4% (strongly disagree/disagree). Students’ perception of current effectiveness was 52% (strongly agree/agree), 33% (neutral), and 15% (strongly disagree/disagree).

Implications: Drinking and drug use increases the risk for chronic disease, safety, and social issues. Training designed to enhance healthcare providers’ skills can build confidence in identifying and preventing further misuse.
