The goal of this 1 hour presentation is to effectively introduce the MY-SBIRT Project and outline the main components & best practices for implementing universal substance use screening for adolescents using the CRAFFT 2.1 + N and Rapid Assessment for Adolescent Preventive Services tools. While this presentation is specific to the screening protocol developed for School-Based Health Centers through the MY-SBIRT Project, the key elements for administering screening, engaging adolescents in motivational interviewing & brief negotiated interview techniques, and best practices for connecting individuals identified as higher risk to appropriate support & treatment can be applied to any clinical environment that serves adolescents.

The Maine Youth & Young Adult—Screening, Brief Intervention, & Referral to Treatment (MY-SBIRT) Project operates under the Maine CDC’s Tobacco and Substance Use Prevention and Control Program. The project is currently being piloted in a number of Maine schools that have a School-Based Health Center and has received funding for its initial iteration from the state’s Opioid Prevention & Treatment Fund.

This course was developed by the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the New England Prevention Technology Transfer Center, which is funded by cooperative agreement 6H79SP081020-05M005 from the Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and covers the HHS Region 1 (CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT).
