The goal of Project Screen Engage and Treat for Success (SETS) is to increase access to person-centered and culturally/linguistically appropriate screening, early identification, intervention and treatment for substance use problems in youth ages 13-17 and their families, and adults in primary care and community health settings. The geographic catchment area includes Lake, Sumter, and Marion, three adjoining counties located North West of Orlando in Florida’s Circuit 5 region. The project will screen at least 3,500 unduplicated individuals per year in years 1 and 5 (to account for program start-up and phase out activities) and 6,000 per year in years 2-4 for a total of 25,000 over the 5-year period of the grant. Our SBIRT teams will have the capacity to provide brief intervention, brief treatment or referral to treatment to approximately 10% of those screened, or 600 patients per year. Obj 1: A minimum of 25,000 individuals will be screened within the catchment area by the end of the grant period. Obj 2: LSF will increase the number of community settings where SBIRT services are provided by at least 5 sites (health center departments, clinics, etc.) by the end of the grant period. Obj 3: At least 30% of youth and families and 45% of adults who are referred for brief treatment or specialty SUD treatment will successfully engage in treatment services. Obj 4: 85% of patients receiving brief intervention, brief treatment or referral to treatment will evidence reduced Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) use within six months of admission into the program. Obj 5: 75% of the SBIRT grant population successfully engaged in brief treatment or specialty SUD treatment will demonstrate a greater reduction in AOD use in relation to a non-SBIRT comparison group drawn from provider agencies within the LSF catchment area. To implement the required activities, LSF Health Systems (LSF), a not-for-profit, behavioral health Managing Entity contracted by the State of Florida to manage the state-funded system of behavioral healthcare in Northeast Florida, will partner with Langley Health Services (FQHC), LifeStream Behavioral Center, Park Place Behavioral Healthcare and a team of SBIRT subject matter experts to achieve full integration of evidence-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) in participating community health centers.
