Screening and brief intervention allow health care professionals and patients to have meaningful conversations about the 3rd leading cause of preventable death in the United States - alcohol use. Discussing alcohol and other substance use with patients is an important part of showing your commitment to supporting their health. SBIRT in Colorado provides tools, counseling, and coaching for healthcare providers to help patient’s understand the potential negative health consequences of substance use.

The SBIRT in Colorado Program acknowledges Dr. Alison Moore of the University of California San Diego Division of Geriatrics for contributing her expertise and time to help us develop the Older Adult SBIRT pocket card, and compile resources on substance abuse prevention, treatment, safe prescribing and pain management in older adults.
