The University of New England (UNE) proposes to develop and implement Collaborative SBIRT Training for Maine's Future Health Profession Leaders, a three-year workforce development program to teach approximately 48 faculty, 1,600 students and 64 practitioners how to provide evidence-based screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for patients who are at risk for a substance use disorder (SUD). UNE students will learn about SUDs and SBIRT in a classroom and interactive trainings to develop leadership skills and interprofessional team skills. This training will equip students to be able to implement SBIRT as clinicians as well as integrate SBIRT within their clinical placements and future employment settings. Project goals are to: 1) develop and implement a student SBIRT training program; 2) advance the adoption and practice of SBIRT throughout Maine's system of care and 3) reduce behavioral health disparities among racial, ethnic, sexual and gender minorities by strategies to decrease differences in access, service use and outcomes. Objectives for the 1,600 UNE students are to: implement curricula to teach the implementation of SBIRT; nominate 20% to become Student SBIRT Leaders who will receive interactive skills, leadership and teamwork training; support students to implement SBIRT in their clinical placements. Objectives for the 64 practitioners are to: develop a cohort of SBIRT trainers qualified to train other trainers; train preceptors and other health practitioners to implement SBIRT; sponsor 16 as SBIRT Ambassadors; develop an online learning collaborative and a web-based clearinghouse to improve practitioners' access to information about (a) culturally and linguistically appropriate services, (b) ways to reduce disparities in SUD and behavioral health treatment access, use, and outcomes, and (c) help SBIRT Ambassadors to integrate SBIRT SUD interventions into their clinical practice.
