简要总结
The purpose of the study is to determine whether SBIRT is an effective intervention with inmates and to estimate the costs of providing SBIRT to this population.
详细描述
Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based practice that has been found to be effective in reducing alcohol and illicit drug use, mainly among persons recruited in medical centers, primary care offices, emergency rooms, and colleges and universities. But SBIRT has the potential to be applicable to other populations that have, or that are at risk for, substance use problems. In particular, offenders have high prevalence of drug and alcohol use at varying levels of severity and often do not receive adequate intervention, either because of limited availability of programs, low motivation, or lack of awareness of the consequences of their substance use.
The scientific aims of the study are:
- Assess the effectiveness of SBIRT with offenders in terms of participation in brief intervention (if so indicated) and enrollment in treatment (if so indicated).
- Assess the effectiveness of SBIRT with offenders in terms of drug use, criminal activity, and criminal justice involvement at 12 months following baseline.
- Determine whether there are differences in acceptability, participation, and outcomes between men and women.
- Determine the cost of providing the SBIRT intervention with this population.
The clinical aims of the study are:
- To complement the use of SBIRT within Los Angeles County's substance abuse treatment system.
- To expand prevention and treatment options for offenders with substance abuse problems.
