This article discusses the use of brief screeners in social work practice to identity adolescents in need of selected interventions for alcohol and other drug use problems. Brief screeners can increase access to alcohol or other drug intervention services and promote the diffusion of evidence-based interventions to underserved communities when integrated in Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) initiatives. The two-item NIAAA Brief Alcohol Use Screener is discussed as a developmentally-tailored assessment tool that can be integrated into SBIRT in social work practice to improve detection of early-stage alcohol problems among adolescents who lack routine access to preventative health care. The use of brief, empirically-supported alcohol screeners in trainings for social work students and new professionals can enhance their preparation and competence to offer child and adolescent clients appropriate selected intervention options to reduce harms associated with underage alcohol use.
本文探讨了在社会工作实践中使用简短筛查工具来识别需要针对酒精和其他药物使用问题进行特定干预的青少年。当简短筛查工具被纳入筛查、简短干预和转介治疗（SBIRT）计划时，它可以增加获得酒精或其他药物干预服务的机会，并促进循证干预措施向服务不足的社区传播。本文讨论了两项内容的美国国立酒精滥用与酒精中毒研究所简短酒精使用筛查工具，它是一种根据青少年发育特点定制的评估工具，可纳入社会工作实践中的SBIRT，以提高对那些缺乏常规预防性医疗保健机会的青少年早期酒精问题的检测能力。在社会工作专业学生和新专业人员的培训中使用简短的、有实证支持的酒精筛查工具，可以提高他们为儿童和青少年客户提供适当的特定干预选项以减少与未成年人饮酒相关危害的准备程度和能力。
