Funded by the SAMHSA/Center for Substance Abuse Treatment SBIRT Initiative (2006-2011)

Mission

The mission of the Florida BRITE Project was to serve individuals 55 years and older to identify non-dependent substance use or prescription medication issues and to provide effective service strategies prior to their need for more extensive or specialized substance abuse treatment. BRITE implemented the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) initiative of the SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). BRITE was the only project funded by an SBIRT grant to specifically focus on an older adult population.

History: The Pilot Project

The SAMHSA/CSAT grant award was built on the success of a three-year pilot project from 2004-2007 funded by the Florida Department of Children and Families Substance Abuse Program Office (DCF/SAPO) and conducted in four Florida counties. Provider agencies offered in-home screenings and services, focusing on brief intervention for alcohol, illicit substances, and prescription and over-the-counter medications. Results published in the American Journal of Public Health (Schonfeld et al. 2010) describe 3,497 screenings, demonstrating statistically significant reductions in use of alcohol, medications, and illicit drugs, as well as reduced symptoms of depression.

The SBIRT Initiative

In late 2006, Florida was awarded a $14 million CSAT grant to focus on providing services within primary and emergency health care settings, public health clinics, elder homes, and aging services. Dr. Robert Hazlett, who had previously worked on Pennsylvania’s SBIRT project developed the protocols that allowed BRITE to shift from a pilot project to the requirements for the federal grant.

In the SBIRT grant, BRITE clients were served by one of four categories of service providers receiving contracts from DCF: healthcare providers (urgent care centers, trauma hospitals, emergency departments, and VA facilities), aging services, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment services. Over the five year grant, a total of 30 provider agencies in 18 counties conducted 85,001 screenings in over 70 different locations. Also, in 2010, under separate funding from the Florida Department of Children and Families, BRITE services were expanded to include adults under age 55 at federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, and Pensacola, resulting in an additional 6,000 screenings. Although the grant ended on September 14, 2011, several sites have continued to implement a modified version of the SBIRT model. Published results from the five-year SBIRT grant are available at:

Schonfeld, L. Hazlett, R. W. Hedgecock, D. K. Duchene, D. M. Burns, L. V. and Gum, A. M. (2014). Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment for older adults with substance misuse. American Journal of Public Health . e-View Ahead of Print. DOI: 10.2105/AJPH.2013.301859

Procedures for Initiating and Sustaining the Florida BRITE Project

Authored by Robert W. Hazlett, Ph. D, CAC, CCS

Florida BRITE Project “Business Process Analysis” – This is a guide for BRITE providers to use to obtain information about a clinic or hospital unit’s operating routine. It guides the BRITE team’s effort to design a protocol to implement BRITE in a specific setting, while being sensitive to the workflow and logistical support issues of that particular setting.

Florida BRITE Project “Initial Training Manual” – this manual provides training to site personnel for screening of potential substance use, abuse and dependence disorders in a hospital, primary care or clinic setting and how to apply brief intervention strategies matched to the patient’s severity of use/abuse of alcohol and other drugs (AOD).

Florida BRITE Project “Sustainability Manual” – This is a guide to understanding what is involved in the process of developing a sustainability plan for SBIRT services even after federal grant funding ends. It is a framework that allows for flexibility and change in your agency’s local environment, and that considers elements that may impact that environment.
