CDC has developed Screening and Brief Intervention (SBI) for Unhealthy Alcohol Use: A Step-By-Step Implementation Guide for Trauma Centers to help Level I and II trauma centers plan, implement, and continually improve the new Committee on Trauma (COT) alcohol-screening and brief intervention requirements.

The guide includes steps and resources:

  • Developing an SBI plan
  • Choosing the team, including those providing the intervention
  • Gaining long-term “buy-in”
  • Implementing and Refining the SBI plan
  • Worksheets to plan and track results
  • Online resources
  • Research articles on SBI
