What this trial studies

This study aims to implement a centralized, virtually-delivered Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program in pediatric primary care settings to address adolescent alcohol and other drug (AOD) use. By providing rapid access to this evidence-based intervention, the study seeks to improve early identification and treatment of AOD use and associated mental health issues among adolescents at high risk. The approach leverages behavioral telemedicine to overcome barriers faced by healthcare providers, such as time constraints and lack of trained staff. The effectiveness and cost-efficiency of this virtual modality will be evaluated across multiple pediatric clinics.
