  2. What is SBIRT? • Screening: administer a brief behavioral health screen to ascertain student risk

  3. DPI endorses several standardized screening instruments to examine a range of behavioral health concerns, including alcohol/drug involvement.

  4. Screening typically shows one of three results in terms of risk for problems: • No or low risk • Moderate risk • High risk

  5. What is SBIRT? • Screening • Brief Intervention proceeds for students who show moderate or high risk results • protocol-guided • focuses on a specific behavior • 1-4 sessions lasting 10-20 minutes each

  6. What is SBIRT? • Screening • Brief Intervention • Referral to Treatment: for high risk students who don’t respond to the BI

  7. Why consider implementing SBIRT in your schools?

  8. Reasons to deliver: • Evidence-Based Practice for teen AOD use

  9. Reasons to deliver: • EBP for teen AOD use • Promising practice for addressing a range of behavioral and academic problems

  10. Reasons to deliver: • EBP for teen AOD use • Promising practice for addressing a range of behavioral and academic problems • Fits with Positive Behavior & Intervention Supports (PBIS)

  11. SBIRT & PBIS • Screen all students • Individual BI • Consider RT • Screen selected students • Individual or group BI • SBIRT is not appropriate III II I

  13. Reasons to deliver: • EBP for teen AOD use • Promising practice for addressing a range of behavioral and academic problems • Fits with PBIS • Fits with Response-to-Intervention • Training is feasible

  14. School SBIRT in Wisconsin • From 2006 to 2012… • 30 trainings involving several school districts and CESAs • Over 500 student services staff participants

  15. Practice Base Evidence of SBIRT

  16. The How: Implementation Lessons Learned • Strategic planning is critical; leadership has to be on board • Having a “critical mass” of trained staff is helpful • On-going staff practice groups promote fidelity • Set up data collection on the front end

  17. Begin initial strategic planning: • What is the goal of SBIRT implementation in your district/school? • What students will be eligible to receive services? • Which screening instrument will staff deliver? • Who on the team will deliver SBIRT?
