Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: SBIRTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based approach supported by national healthcare organizations, including the Preventative Services Task Force and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists. Validated tools (AUDIT-C and NIDA ASSIST) will efficiently screen an individual's substance use risk. Patients who screen in the risky/harmful range then receive a brief motivational interviewing-based intervention adapted from the evidence-based Brief Negotiated Interview, lasting 5-10 minutes, which provides feedback, helps explore health risks, and motivates change. Individuals who screen in the severe category, indicating a likely AUD/SUD, also receive a brief intervention, aimed at increasing motivation to accept a referral to treatment, and requiring a more intensive approach will also receive a warm-hand off referral to specialty addiction treatment.
Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
None of the clinic sites have implemented standardized screening, brief intervention, or referral to treatment components. In this setting, usual care consists of basic quantity and frequency questions asked inconsistently as part of the admission process and varying by provider, with no standardized approach to screening, treatment, follow-up, or referral.
