Project Overview
The teachSBIRT project will represent part of an overall workforce development effort linking early intervention and referral services to specialized community treatment programs, and holds potential significance as a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, collaborative effort to improve and strengthen Nevada’s healthcare system and positively impact Nevadans’ health. This is timely given a recent CDC report that excessive alcohol use is one of the most common risk factors associated with prevalent chronic diseases, and Nevada ranks higher than the national average for risky drinking.
