"Champions" at each clinical site will help select two implementation team leaders. After training, the leaders will use a workbook to guide their teams in implementing and improving SBIRT services in monthly plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles. WIPHL staff will support clinical site efforts with monthly conference calls, semi-annual meetings, and site visits. WIPHL site staff will systematically administer brief, multi-health behavior screens, using electronic medical record systems, written forms, or automated telephone systems. Patients with positive brief substance abuse screens will undergo fuller screening and receive additional SBIRT services from on-site counselors, who receive 3 weeks of initial training, ongoing supervision, and regular feedback. Counseling protocols will be based on the trans-theoretical model of change, motivational interviewing principles, and additional strategies to enhance cultural competence.
