Abstract
This is a novel test of a screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) procedure implemented as a universal screening in public schools and delivered primarily by school nurses. Findings reveal that school-based screening may be a useful way to identify and prevent alcohol and substance use.
