Brief Summary

The goal of the proposed research is to complete the development of a web-based program to train Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and EAP-affiliated managed behavioral health organization (MBHO) practitioners to conduct screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for problem alcohol use among working adults.

Conditions

Alcohol Consumption; Alcohol Abuse

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  Situation judgment tests (SJT) will assess trainee's responses to real-life situations and behaviors. The SJT will consist of 9 brief (20-30 seconds) audio-based vignettes of motivational interviewing and alcohol SBIRT in typical clinical and counseling situations. For each of the 9 SJTs, trainees will identify MI/SBIRT-compliant responses.

  3 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Perceived Competence

  3 months

• Knowledge

  3 months

• Attitudes

Study Arms (2)

SBIRT Training & Support Tool

EXPERIMENTAL

The SBIRT Training \& Support Tool has two components, both of which will be evaluated: (1) online SBIRT Training for EAP and behavioral health practitioners conducting alcohol SBIRT with their adult clients and (2) mobile/web interactive alcohol screening tools and brief intervention protocols to facilitate use of SBIRT by practitioners.
