ABSTRACT

This study explored school-based health center (SBHC) providers’ attitudes, perceptions, and practice of upstream and downstream strategies to prevent opioid misuse with a focus on Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). We distributed an electronic survey to 141 New York State SBHC providers serving middle/high school students October-November 2019. Most participants (82%) agreed their SBHC has a role in preventing opioid misuse/overdose, but half indicated they do not have the skills (51%) and two-thirds the confidence (66%) to prevent it. Results identified attitudes and perceptions to target with training, education, and marketing to increase delivery of upstream interventions.

摘要

本研究探讨了学校卫生中心 (SBHC) 提供者对预防阿片类药物滥用的上游和下游策略的态度、看法和实践，重点是筛查、短暂干预和转诊治疗 (SBIRT)。我们在 2019 年 10 月至 11 月向纽约州 141 家为初中/高中学生提供服务的 SBHC 提供者分发了一项电子调查。大多数参与者 (82%) 同意他们的 SBHC 在防止阿片类药物滥用/过量方面发挥作用，但一半表示他们没有技能（51%）和三分之二的信心（66%）阻止它。结果确定了以培训、教育和营销为目标的态度和看法，以增加上游干预措施的实施。
