Abstract
Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), a public health approach to substance misuse, was resumed in a college health clinic to identify at-risk individuals and high-risk substance use. The SBIRT prescreen was given to 606 students during the 2023-2024 academic year. Positive screening responses triggered discussion and referrals to care. Compared with data from 2017-2018, results indicated a decline in alcohol use, smoking, and medication misuse, while depression rates remained stable. However, anxiety, cannabis use, and referrals increased. SBIRT screening fosters discussions about mental health and substance use, facilitating early intervention in high-risk substance use.
