Brief summary

The study will utilize a stepped wedge cluster randomized design to examine the effectiveness of the full FaCES (Facilitating Change for Excellence in SBIRT) adolescent SBIRT change package. Primary care providers will be randomized as to when they receive training and begin delivery of FaCES with their 12 to 17 year old patients, which includes targeted feedback based on the patient's endorsed substance use level on the S2BI screening instrument.

Detailed description

The study will utilize a stepped wedge cluster randomized design to examine the effectiveness of the full FaCES (Facilitating Change for Excellence in SBIRT) adolescent change package for 12 to 17 year old primary care patients. Primary care providers at two rural federally qualified health centers in New Mexico and Tennessee will be randomized as to when they receive training and begin delivering FaCES to their adolescent patients.

Study participants will complete a baseline and follow-up assessment 3-months post study recruitment.
