| Abstract | INTRODUCTION Clinical strategies have not been widely adopted for disseminating alcohol screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) into practice in acute care settings despite the promulgation of guidelines and recommendations from the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (2006), Committee on Health Care for Underserved Women (2011), Department of Veterans Affairs (2008), and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (2007). Recently, the American Nurses Association recognized that nurses must address substance use problems and views SBIRTas important for all nurses as part of their charge to protect the health of the public (Karen Daley, letter to the International Nurses Society on Addictions, November 2, 2012). As the most trusted group of professionals and one that has the most contact with healthcare consumers, nurses can contribute to the reduction in the burden of disease though identification of individuals who are at risk because of alcohol use and provide early prevention, intervention, and treatment. This column provides a review of two articles relating to one or more of the SBIRT components applied in acute care settings. The review informs potential and actual influences on the progress and effectiveness of SBIRT implementation efforts. The review also examines how the authors of the articles addressed the global paradigm shift related to alcohol and health from a focus on treatment of alcohol use disorders to the broader focus of preventing adverse health consequences associated with alcohol use across the continuum of use. |
