What this research studies
This research focuses on adolescents with chronic medical conditions who are hospitalized and at risk for alcohol and drug misuse. It aims to adapt and implement a screening and intervention program called SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) specifically for this population. By observing hospital workflows and collaborating with healthcare staff and families, the study seeks to identify effective strategies for integrating alcohol use screening into routine care during hospital stays. This approach aims to address a critical gap in care for these vulnerable patients.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adolescents with chronic medical conditions who are hospitalized in pediatric inpatient units.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have chronic medical conditions or are not hospitalized in pediatric units may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to earlier identification and intervention for alcohol misuse among adolescents with chronic medical conditions, improving their overall health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in implementing SBIRT in various healthcare settings, suggesting that this approach could be effective in pediatric inpatient units as well.
