What is Screening Brief Intervention &
Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)?An Evidence-based Model Program :
- Identifying persons at ALL levels of alcohol and drug use through to dependence
- Providing brief intervention to patients who are misusing alcohol and other drugs
- Assessing patients who may be using alcohol and/or drugs to determine if they would be eligible for treatment
- Referring patients who are probably alcohol and/or other drug dependent to addiction treatment.
SBIRT is a Paradigm Shift from the traditional model of service provision to one that is more expansive, focusing on the “at-risk” individual for prevention and early intervention.
![Page 11: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Substance use occurs along a continuum -
SBIRT is grounded in this perspective
![Page 12: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Overall, what do we hopeSBIRT will do?
• Improve public health
• Increase clinical knowledge
• Decrease stigma
• Prevent alcohol-related violence and interpersonal abuse
• Reduce high risk behaviors
• Prevent alcohol dependence

Are there codes that can be used for reimbursement? In January 2008, the AMA introduced new health care codes for substance abuse screening and brief
intervention. Healthcare professionals now have four different codes that can be used in 2008 for screening and brief intervention (SBI). Two of the codes are for privately insured patients (99408 and 99409), and two for Medicare patients (G0396 and G0397). Fees are based on length of activity (15 -30 minutes; more than 30 minutes).
The definitions of the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes focus on "assessment" instead of "screening." These codes, again, will only be used for people age 65 and above. The G-code definitions are "Alcohol and/or substance (other than tobacco) abuse structured assessment (e.g., AUDIT, ASSIST, DAST) and brief intervention, 15-30 minutes" for G0396, and "Alcohol and/or substance (other than tobacco) abuse structured assessment (e.g., AUDIT, DAST) and intervention, greater than 30 minutes" for G0397. Note that Medicare calls the 15-30 minute intervention "brief," but does not use that same denomination for the longer intervention. The G codes also are defined as "assessment" instead of "screening". Medicare will instruct its carriers to pay for G0396 and G0397 "only when considered reasonable and necessary."
For patients not covered by Medicare -in other words, patients under age 65 -the only codes healthcare professionals can now use are the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (CPT) codes. In some areas of New York State, private payers have already started to use these codes. But Medicare made it much easier for them to do so by publishing the RVUs (relative value units) for the CPT codes. These RVUs, when multiplied by the conversion factor, give the dollar amount payable per code. Since most payers rely on the Medicare fee schedule, at least as a jumping off point to set their own fees, the publishing of RVUs makes it much more likely that non-Medicare patients will get these services as well. Medicaid coding is in place, but requires each individual state Medicaid authority to "turn on" the codes. New York State had done so in January 2010 for Primary Care and Emergency Department settings.

1. Purpose of Screening
• Create a professional, helping atmosphere
• Identify both hazardous/harmful drinking or drug use and those likely to be dependent
• Use as little patient/staff time as possible in doing so
• Provide information to patient(s) needed for choosing the appropriate intervention(s)
![Page 18: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Screening Process
• IS NOT a substitute for care of clients with a moderate to high level of abuse or dependence.
• IS NOT a formal diagnosis of alcohol or drug dependence, but a reliable indicator of either the presence or absence of one.
• IS an impartial tool used to engage and motivate clients who need specialized treatment to accept a referral for diagnostic evaluation and possible treatment.
![Page 19: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What does “at-risk” mean for alcohol users?
• National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines:
- Men who drink more than 14 standard drinks per week or more than 4 drinks on occasion
- Women who drink more than 7 standard drinks per week or more than 3 drinks on occasion
![Page 20: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Alcohol• Most people ask “What’s a Standard Drink?”
1 standard drink =
1 can of ordinary beer
(e.g. 12 oz. at 5%)
- OR -
A single shot of spirits (whiskey, gin, vodka, etc.)
(e.g. 1.5 oz. at 40%)
![Page 22: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Alcohol (cont’d)
A glass of wine or a small glass of sherry (e.g. 5 oz. at 12% or 3 oz. at 18%)
- OR -
A small glass of liqueur or aperitif (e.g. 2.4 oz. at 25%)
*How much is Too Much? The most important thing is the amount of pure alcohol in a drink. These drinks, in normal measures, each contain roughly the same amount of pure alcohol. Think of each one as a standard drink.
![Page 23: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Problem & Dependent Drinkers
• Problem drinkers are persons who drink above NIAAA limits and also have one or more alcohol-related problems or adverse events
• Dependent drinkers are persons who are unable to control their alcohol use, have experienced one or more adverse consequences of alcohol use, and have evidence of tolerance or withdrawal

Effect of High-Risk Drinking
• Psychological & Behavioral Concerns
- Aggressive, Irrational behavior, Arguments, Violence, Depression, Nervousness, Substance Dependence, Memory Loss
• Physiological Concerns
- Premature aging, Drinker’s nose, Frequent colds, Reduced resistance to infection, Increased risk of pneumonia
- Weakness of heart muscle. Heart failure, Anemia, Impaired blood clotting. Breast Cancer
- Liver Damage
- Dependence

Motivational vs. Confrontational Approach
• Confrontational:- emphasis on acceptance of self as having problem; acceptance of diagnosis essential for change
- emphasis on personality pathology which reduces personal choice, judgment and control
• Motivational:- less emphasis on labels; acceptance of labels unnecessary for change
- emphasis on personal
choice and responsibility for deciding future behavior
![Page 30: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Motivational vs. Confrontational Approach
• Confrontational:- present evidence of problems to convince patient to accept diagnosis
- resistance is “denial” a
trait requiring confrontation
• Motivational:- counselor conducts objective evaluation, but focuses on eliciting patient’s own concerns
- resistance is an interpersonal behavior pattern influenced by counselor’s behavior
![Page 32: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Motivational vs. Confrontational Approach
• Confrontational:- resistance met with argumentation and correction
- goals and strategies for change are prescribed for the patient since patient is seen as incapable of making sound decisions
• Motivational:- resistance is met with reflection
- goals and strategies for change are negotiated between the patient and counselor; collaboration is vital

Validated Screens 1. The AUDIT: Standardized, validated
instrument • AUDIT is the acronym for Alcohol Use Disorders
Identification Test
• Developed in 1993 from a six-country World Health Organization (WHO) collaborative project as a screen for hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption.
• It consists of 10 brief questions that effectively demonstrate levels of drinking behavior that become a springboard for intervention.

Introducing the AUDIT
“Now I am going to ask you some questions about your use of alcoholic beverages during the past year. Because alcohol use can affect many areas of health (and may interfere with certain medications and treatment), it is important for us to know how much you usually drink and whether you have experienced any problems with your drinking. Please try to be as honest and as accurate as you can be.”
![Page 45: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Considering the Patient
• The interviewer is friendly and non-threatening;
• The patient is not intoxicated or in need of emergency care at the time;
• The purpose of the screening should be clearly stated in terms of its relevance to the patient’s health status;
![Page 46: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Considering the Patient
• The patient must understand that for the information shared to be of value the questions require truthful and accurate responses; and
• Assurance is given that the patient’s responses will remain confidential.
![Page 47: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

2. Validated Screens
2. Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST)
• Yudko E; Lozhkina O; Fouts A. A comprehensive review of the psychometric properties of the Drug Abuse Screening Test. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment 32(2): 189-198, 2007. (24 refs.)
• This article reviews the reliability and the validity of the (10-, 20-, and 28-item) Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST). The reliability and the validity of the adolescent version of the DAST are also reviewed. An extensive literature review was conducted using the Medline and Psychinfo databases from the years 1982 to 2005. All articles that addressed the reliability and the validity of the DAST were examined. Publications in which the DAST was used as a screening tool but had no data on its psychometric properties were not included. Descriptive information about each version of the test, as well as discussion of the empirical literature that has explored measures of the reliability and the validity of the DAST, has been included. The DAST tended to have moderate to high levels of test-retest, inter-item, and item-total reliabilities. The DAST also tended to have moderate to high levels of validity, sensitivity, and specificity. In general, all versions of the DAST yield satisfactory measures of reliability and validity for use as clinical or research tools. Furthermore, these tests are easy to administer and have been used in a variety of populations.

2. Validated Screening Tools
3. Car, Relax, Alone, Family Friends, Forget, Trouble (CRAFFT for Adolescents)
The CRAFFT is intended specifically for adolescents. It draws upon adult screening instruments, covers alcohol and other drugs, and calls upon situations that are suited to adolescents.The sensitivity of the CRAFFT is similar to the AUDIT and much greater than that of the CAGE (which is not recommended for use with adolescents.) The CRAFFT works equally as well for alcohol and drugs, for boys and girls, for younger and older adolescents, and for youth from diverse race and ethnic backgrounds.
![Page 55: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The CRAFFT Screening Tool
CeASAR (Center for Adolescent Substance Abuse Research) describes the CRAFFT as a behavioral health screening tool for use with children under the age of 21 and recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Substance Abuse for use with adolescents.
It consists of a series of 6 questions developed to screen adolescents for high risk alcohol and other drug use disorders simultaneously. It is a short, effective screening tool meant to assess whether a longer conversation about the context of use, frequency, and other risks and consequences
of alcohol and other drug use is warranted.
![Page 56: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Screening using the CRAFFT begins by asking the adolescent to “Please answer these questions honestly” and then assure them that their answers will be kept
confidential.
There is a Part A and Part B to the CRAFFT screening
questionnaire or interview.
![Page 57: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Part A has three opening questions:
During the PAST 12 MONTHS, did you:
1. Drink any alcohol (more than a few
sips)?
2. Smoke any marijuana or hashish?
3. Use anything else to get high? (“Anything else includes illegal drugs,
over the counter and prescription drugs, and things that you sniff or huff”.)
![Page 58: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
CRAFFT
• If the adolescent answered NO to All three questions, only ask the first question in Part B.
• If the adolescent answered YES to ANY question, ask all questions in Part B.
![Page 59: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Part B has six CRAFFT questions:
CRAFFT is a mnemonic acronym of first letters of key words in the screening questions.
When using the interview style of administration of the CRAFFT, the six questions should be asked exactly as written:
![Page 60: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
1. C- Have you ever ridden in a CAR driven by someone (including yourself) who was “high” or had been using alcohol or drugs?
2. R- Do you ever use alcohol or drugs to RELAX, feel better about yourself, or fit in?
3. A- Do you ever use alcohol or drugs while you are by yourself, or ALONE?
4. F- Do you ever FORGET things you did while using alcohol or drugs?
5. F- Do your Family or Friends ever tell you that you should cut down on your drinking or drug use?
6. T- Have you ever gotten into TROUBLE while you were using alcohol or drugs?
![Page 61: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Scoring: Two or more positive items indicate the need for further assessment suggesting a significant problem.
Privacy: It is important that adolescents are screened in a private place away from the parent or guardian in order to get honest answers and maximize the effectiveness of the CRAFFT. Adolescents usually prefer the questionnaire self administered or computer screening.
![Page 62: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Safety Risk: Information that could be uncovered during an assessment may present a safety risk (e.g., injection drug use, illegal behaviors, ingestion of potentially fatal amounts of alcohol) and may warrant a referral to treatment.
Parents must be informed of safety risks and treatment referrals for adolescents less than 18 years old. (Of course the adolescent should be told as soon as possible whenever this is necessary and discuss with them what information will be disclosed.)
![Page 63: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
RECAP
Screening: With just a few questions on a questionnaire or in an interview, practitioners can identify patients who have alcohol or substance use problems and determine how severe those problems already are.
![Page 64: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Screening and Brief InterventionDraft Module III: Brief Intervention
Brief Intervention: If screening results indicate “at risk” behavior, individuals receive brief interventions. The intervention educates them about their substance use, alerts them to possible consequences, and motivates them to change their behavior.
![Page 65: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Brief Intervention: Objectives
• Define Brief Intervention
• Discuss some different types and models of brief interventions• Discuss “Stages of Change” and their implications for provider
interventions• Discuss use of “Change Rulers” and their impact on patient
change • Discuss motivational interviewing and its role in the brief
intervention
• Review video examples

Brief Intervention (BI): What is it?
A Brief Intervention is a short (2-10 minute) dialogue between the service provider and the patient that typically involves:
• A screening or assessment process • Feedback• patient engagement• Simple advice or brief counseling• Goal setting and follow-up regarding the drug and/or
alcohol use of the patient
![Page 67: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Brief Intervention: Tools
• The most commonly used are a combination of the following:- Printed information - Short advice session - Motivational interviewing - Brief counseling - Questionnaires and self-assessments - Self-help manuals - Controlled drinking programs - Drunk Driver programs - Videos
![Page 68: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
BI: Reluctance of Primary Workers
• Lack of time
• Inadequate training
• Fear of antagonizing clients
• AOD not a matter to address in providing services
• Users will not respond

Motivational Interviewing Guiding Philosophy
“The strategies of Motivational Interviewing are more persuasive than coercive, more supportive than argumentative. The clinician seeks to create a positive atmosphere that is conducive to change. The overall goal is to increase the patient’s intrinsic motivation, so that change arises from within rather than being imposed from without. When this approach is done properly, it is the patient who presents the arguments for change, rather than the clinician.”
Miller and Rollnick (1991, p. 52)
![Page 89: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Motivational Interviewing
Influencing behavior change involves:
• Identifying the level of readiness for change
• Gathering information in a non-judgmental way (conversational tone)
• Negotiating an action plan with the patient, using the information the patient has provided as well as objective information, to move the patient to the next level of readiness to change.

Amplify Ambivalence AA
• Ambivalence is normal
• Exploring ambivalence helps
remove obstacles
• Resolving ambivalence moves toward behavior change
![Page 93: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Develop Discrepancy DD
• The patent should present the argument for change
• Change is motivated by perceived conflict between present behavior and personal goals and values
• Triggered by awareness of and discontent with costs of one’s present behavior and perceived advantage of change
![Page 94: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Roll with Resistance RR
• Avoid arguing for change
• Do not directly oppose patient
• New perspectives invited but not imposed
• A signal to change strategy and respond differently
• Involves patient actively in the process of problem-solving
![Page 95: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Express Empathy EE
• Acceptance facilitates change
• The key to expressing empathy is reflective listening.
• Listening in a supportive, reflective manner; demonstrating you understand their concerns and feelings without judging, criticizing or blaming.
![Page 96: Screening and Brief Intervention E-Learning Module Draft](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681492b550346895db664e4/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Support Self-Efficacy SS
• Belief in the possibility of change• The patient, not the provider, is responsible
for choosing and carrying out change• Provider’s belief in the patent’s ability to
change• A reasonably good predictor of treatment
outcomes• Enhances a patent’s confidence in his/her
capability to cope with obstacles and to succeed in change

Screening and Brief InterventionDraft Module VI: Brief Treatment• Brief Treatment: If individuals are at
moderate to high risk, the next step is brief treatment. Similar to brief intervention, this emphasizes motivations to change and patient empowerment, though it consists of a limited number of highly focused and structured clinical sessions with the purpose of eliminating hazardous and/or harmful alcohol and/or substance use.
