Improving screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment for unhealthy alcohol use in diverse, low-resourced primary care clinics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implementation of screening brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) and medication-assisted treatment for alcohol use disorder (MAUD) remains low in primary care. ANTECEDENT (Partnerships to Enhance Alcohol Screening, Treatment, and Intervention) was a practice-facilitator led implementation study to increase SBIRT and MAUD use in diverse primary care clinics.

Methods

From November 2019 - April 2023, we conducted a convergent parallel mixed methods evaluation. Participants were small and medium-sized primary care clinics in the Northwestern U.S. Clinics received foundational support (i.e., baseline/exit assessment, access to SBIRT Oregon website) and the option for supplemental implementation support (e.g., practice facilitation, expert consultation)
