Abstract
- Comprehensive programmes to help reduce substance misuse/mental illness in youth should combine Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). EMPATHY, an SBIRT programme, was part of a school-based prevention initiative to reduce symptoms of substance misuse in youth in Grades 6–12, along with reducing symptoms of depression, suicidal thinking, and anxiety. To better understand the feasibility of school-based SBIRT, we retrieved perspectives of administrators primarily through interviews. The level of engagement and interest of youth in the programme was high; however, two significant barriers were: (1) the need for parental consent/involvement; and (2) a systemic gap in treatment choices for youth with mild to moderate symptomology. Therapeutic alliance with students was reportedly a significant factor contributing to benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
