REFLECTIONS This is a simple program- but simple is not always easy Having more than one screener is optimal Our medical staff were not as comfortable as our social work staff with motivational interviewing We did not do as well as we had hoped with the Brief Intervention portion of the project We had set up a space in our Student Information Database to record for last year, but forgot to set it up so we could record each year Prevention First! Developed a toolkit to help other schools launch SBIRT
