| Abstract: | Social work plays a critical role in preparing professionals for substance use screening, intervention, and treatment. Educators must offer competency-based, clinical learning experiences grounded in social work values and ethics to build student competence and confidence. This Teaching Note introduces the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) model, highlighting its evidence base, application in clinical social work curricula, and alignment with Council for Social Work Education competencies. SBIRT equips students with practical, adaptable skills in assessment, clinical practice, and care coordination. Moreover, SBIRT's theoretical framework translates social work values and ethics into action through a patient-centered approach. Given the prevalence of substance use, this content is relevant for students in community-based behavioral health, schools, and healthcare settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
