English
Authors' objectives:
Screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for alcohol misuse is a public health intervention aimed at first identifying problem drinkers in a population group, such as primary care or emergency department patients, and then providing a brief face-to-face intervention to these individuals to advise, motivate, and assist them with referrals as needed. The purpose is to promote changes in the client’s alcohol consumption to safer drinking levels and safer drinking patterns, or abstinence, with the assumption that this may prevent future alcohol-related medical, social, psychological, or legal problems.
