“An Introduction to Screening, Brief Intervention
and Referral to Treatment: Methods and Practices”
Ellen Augspurger, MAT
Ohio Substance Use Screening, Brief
Intervention and Referral to Treatment Project
Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services
Prior to reaching the level of dependence, moderate or high risk substance use often results in psycho-social or health related
problems. Universal screening coupled with brief interventions (SBI) for those who are at risk can result in dramatic changes in
substance use choices and behavior. This presentation will provide participants with the evidence base for this innovative practice,
define the conceptual framework for addressing substance use as a public health problem, explore successful screening practices and
tools, and provide an overview of the clinical practice (motivational interviewing) that is the foundation for successful behavioral
change. Participants will also learn the fundamental steps of Brief Intervention to engage patients in change or in referring them to
treatment.

realistic issues faced by families but not often recognized by the professionals who work with them.
