Abstract

Abstract: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an approach to identify and reduce risk and harm from substance use. However, research indicates that implementing components of SBIRT, such as the use of validated screening tools, can be challenging for healthcare professionals. The growing use of digital technology in healthcare may provide an approach to mitigate these barriers. However, outcomes from SBIRT learning and implementation apps rarely are studied, and even less research has examined the development processes behind such tools. This paper, therefore, presents a single-case study of how an interprofessional team of scholars created a web-based SBIRT app.
