“…Seventh, we include a range of outcome measures, including patient outcomes, as a quality check 126 , which address weaknesses of many previous implementation studies in this area, which have focussed on provider outcomes, rather than patient outcomes 42 , 43 . Through the use of existing electronic health records, and further to ethical and confidentiality agreements, we anticipate the ability to link individual AUDIT-C scores with consultations within the primary health care centers and hospitalizations within district hospitals, recording diagnosis for both fully and partially attributable alcohol-related conditions 13 .…”

“…During month 3 of the 18-month implementation period, the first six consecutive screen positive patients identified by each PHC provider will be invited to give their consent to complete two follow-up questionnaires, at six months and twelve months after the initial screening. The patient interviews will be used for quality control 126 , but not as a study outcome measure. The follow-up questionnaires will be the same as the baseline questionnaire and will be undertaken by the local academic unit by face-to-face or telephone interview.…”

Scaling-up primary health care-based prevention and management of heavy drinking at the municipal level in middle-income countries in Latin America: Background and protocol for a three-country quasi-experimental study

et al. 2017

Background: While primary health care (PHC)-based prevention and management of heavy drinking is clinically effective and cost-effective, it remains poorly implemented in routine practice. Systematic reviews and multi-country studies have demonstrated the ability of training and support programmes to increase PHC-based screening and brief advice activity to reduce heavy drinking. However, gains have been only modest and short term at best. WHO studies have concluded that a more effective uptake could be achieved by embedding PHC activity within broader community and municipal support. Protocol: A quasi-experimental study will compare PHC-based prevention and management of heavy drinking in three intervention cities from Colombia, Mexico and Peru with three comparator cities from the same countries. In the implementation cities, primary health care units (PHCUs) will receive training embedded within ongoing supportive municipal action over an 18-month implementation period. In the comparator cities, practice as usual will continue at both municipal and PHCU levels. The primary outcome will be the proportion of consulting adult patients intervened with (screened and advice given to screen positives). The study is powered to detect a doubling of the outcome measure from an estimated 2.5/1,000 patients at baseline. Formal evaluation points will be at baseline, mid-point and end-point of the 18-month implementation period. We will present the ratio (plus 95% confidence interval) of the proportion of patients receiving intervention in the implementation cities with the proportions in the comparator cities. Full process evaluation will be undertaken, coupled with an analysis of potential contextual, financial and political-economy influencing factors. Discussion: This multi-country study will test the extent to which embedding PHC-based prevention and management of alcohol use disorder with supportive municipal action leads to improved scale-up of more patients with heavy drinking receiving appropriate advice and treatment. Study status: The four-year study will start on 1 st December 2017.

“…In addition to supporting the feasibility and criterion validity of the SCORe, Vendetti et al [24] found that SAMHSA cohort 3 providers tended to adhere to evidence-based protocols, an important condition for investigating program effectiveness. Using the SCORe, 76 providers were observed performing 388 services in emergency departments/ trauma centers (ED/TC), hospital out-patient/ambulatory clinics (OP) and hospital in-patient (IP) settings.…”

Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment: implications of SAMHSA's SBIRT initiative for substance abuse policy and practice

2017

Aims This paper describes the major findings and public health implications of a cross-site evaluation of a national Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) demonstration program funded by the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Methods Eleven multi-site programs in two cohorts of SAMHSA grant recipients were each funded for 5 years to promote the adoption and sustained implementation of SBIRT. The SBIRT cross-site evaluation used a multi-method evaluation design to provide comprehensive information on the processes, outcomes and costs of SBIRT as implemented in a variety of medical and community settings. Findings SBIRT programs in the two evaluated SAMHSA cohorts screened more than 1 million patients/clients. SBIRT implementation was facilitated by committed leadership and the use of substance use specialists, rather than medical generalists, to deliver services. Although the quasi-experimental nature of the outcome evaluation does not permit causal inferences, pre-post differences were clinically meaningful and statistically significant for almost every measure of substance use. Greater intervention intensity was associated with larger decreases in substance use. Both brief intervention and brief treatment were associated with positive outcomes, but brief intervention was more cost-effective for most substances. Sixty-nine (67%) of the original performance sites adapted and redesigned SBIRT service delivery after initial grant funding ended. Four factors influenced SBIRT sustainability: presence of program champions, availability of funding, systemic change and effective management of SBIRT provider challenges. Conclusions The US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) demonstration program was adapted successfully to the needs of early identification efforts for hazardous use of alcohol and illicit drugs. SBIRT is an innovative way to integrate the management of substance use disorders into primary care and general medicine. Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment implementation was associated with improvements in treatment system equity, efficiency and economy.

“…Fidelity ratings were conducted using a session content checklist [16] on approximately half (48.4%) of all SBIRT sessions. Fidelity ratings were completed on a rolling weekly basis, such that each study clinician received information during supervision about the ratings from one session during the prior week.…”

Effect of screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment for unhealthy alcohol and other drug use in mental health treatment settings: a randomized controlled trial

et al. 2020

Aims To test the efficacy of a brief intervention to reduce alcohol or drug use and to promote use of addiction services among patients seeking mental health treatment. Design and setting A multi‐centre, longitudinal, two‐group randomized controlled trial with randomization within each of two mental health treatment systems located in Ventura County and Los Angeles County in California, USA. Participants A total of 718 patients (49.2% female) aged 18 and older with a mental health diagnosis and either a heavy drinking day or any use of cannabis or stimulants in the past 90 days. Intervention and comparator A motivation‐based brief intervention with personalized feedback (screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) condition) (n = 354) or a health education session (control condition) (n = 364). Measurements Primary outcomes included frequency of heavy drinking days, days of cannabis use and days of stimulant use at the primary end‐point 3 months post‐baseline. Secondary outcomes included frequency and abstinence from substance use out to a 12‐month follow‐up and the use of addiction treatment services. Findings Participants in the SBIRT condition had fewer heavy drinking days [odds ratio (OR) = 0.53; 95% credible interval (CrI) = 0.48–0.6] and fewer days of stimulant use (OR = 0.58; 95% CrI = 0.50–0.66) at the 3‐month follow‐up compared with participants in the health education condition. Participants in the SBIRT condition did not comparatively reduce days of cannabis use at the 3‐month follow‐up (OR = 0.93; 95% CrI = 0.85–1.01). Secondary outcomes indicated sustained effects of SBIRT on reducing the frequency of heavy drinking days and days of stimulant use. No effects were observed on abstinence rates or use of addiction treatment services. Conclusions Screening and brief intervention for unhealthy alcohol and drug use in mental health treatment settings were effective at reducing the frequency of heavy drinking and stimulant use.
