Objective:
To examine how screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) influenced nurses' knowledge, attitude, responsibility and confidence when caring for college students using electronic cigarettes (EC).
Participants:
Nurses (n = 8) in an urban university campus in the US.

Training sessions included classroom instruction on SBIRT and EC, and practice with a standardized patient. Surveys administered pre and post training, and at conclusion. Measurement included nurse's knowledge of SBIRT and EC; and attitude, confidence and responsibility when using SBIRT. Students with past 90-day EC use were administered SBIRT by nurses and referred to health educator on request.
Results:
Over 6 weeks, 103 students reported EC use, 80 received SBIRT and 36 were referred to health educator. Nurses gained knowledge, supported using SBIRT, and reported that skills increased.
