counselor as compared to a brief intervention delivered by a computerized intervention.
associated problems of a brief intervention for drug use delivered by a behavioral health
counselor as compared to a brief intervention delivered by a computerized intervention.
Drug use is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Efforts to
develop and rigorously evaluate methods to provide Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral
to Treatment (SBIRT) for drug users are needed. Computerized screening and brief
interventions in particular have the potential to circumvent some of the potential problems
of integrating SBIRT delivered by a counselor into busy primary care settings. These
interventions may reduce drug use among individuals who are using drugs but are not yet drug
dependent.
