“This 2015 statewide school-based health center (SBHC) workforce survey found high levels of perceived role responsibility, self-efficacy, confidence, and comfort around addressing substance use among primary care and behavioral health care SBHC providers. However, less than half of providers reported practicing the full Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) model at their SBHC. SBHC provider attributes including role responsibility, self-efficacy, confidence, and comfort were all significantly associated with the provision of SBIRT. These findings suggest that continuing education on SBIRT as well as trainings to enhance these provider attributes (including role responsibility and self-efficacy) may help increase the uptake of SBIRT in SBHC settings.”
