Summary
Pediatric residents can effectively learn and implement screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) skills. This training program successfully integrated into residency curricula, improving resident competency and clinical practice.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Substance Use Disorders
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Baylor College of Medicine developed a training program for residents and faculty.
- The program focuses on evidence-based screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for alcohol and substance use.
- It aims to equip healthcare professionals with skills to address patient substance use issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the SBIRT training program for pediatric residents.
- To evaluate the program's effectiveness, satisfaction, and implementation in clinical practice.
- To assess resident competency and skill utilization post-training.
Main Methods:
- Ninety-five first-year pediatric residents participated in the SBIRT training.
- The program was integrated into two pediatric residency curricula.
- Participants were assessed on satisfaction, self-rated skills, observed competency, and clinical implementation.
Main Results:
- The SBIRT training was successfully incorporated into pediatric residency programs.
- Residents reported high satisfaction with the training.
- Evaluations showed improved self-reported and observed SBIRT skills, with successful clinical implementation.
Conclusions:
- SBIRT skills training is feasible and effective within pediatric residency programs.
- Pediatric residents can acquire and apply SBIRT skills in their clinical practice.
- This training enhances the capacity of pediatricians to manage substance use concerns.
