Description:

65 million Americans will experience a mental health or substance use disorder in their lifetime, raising their risk of disease and mortality and increasing healthcare costs. Only half of these individuals will receive treatment, creating an urgent need to better identify and intervene in substance use and mental health concerns in primary care.

Join us for an engaging webinar presentation that will dive deeper into the findings of a national survey of 2,178 physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and mental health professionals from 27 institutions to answer the following questions: 


1. Are healthcare professionals competent in conducting SBI for substance use and mental health?

2. How likely are they to conduct SBI as part of routine care?

3. Are health professionals currently engaging enough patients in SBI?
