Brief summary

In this project we will conduct a pilot study of a brief intervention to reduce teen tobacco, alcohol and drug use that primary care dental practitioners can provide in their offices.

Detailed description

The goal of this project is to prepare for a large multi-site comparative effectiveness trial of a behavioral intervention, computer-facilitated Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (cSBIRT) system that targets tobacco, alcohol, and drug use among adolescent dental patients. This enhanced computerized screening system includes: (1) screening, feedback, and provider talking points for tobacco and non-medical use of prescription drugs, (2) an interactive 2-part Motivational Enhancement Therapy module for adolescents at highest risk to complete from home, and (3) technological extenders (TEs), which are computer-generated messages that the provider sends to adolescents during the months following the clinic visit to reinforce the effect of the intervention over time.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALComputer Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral toTreatment

A computerized screening for tobacco, alcohol and drug use accompanied by 10-15 pages of health information regarding the risks of tobacco, alcohol and drug use. This is followed by a brief conversation with the primary care provider regarding the health risks of tobacco, alcohol and drug use and a referral to treatment for those at high risk of substance use problems.
