one of the things that howard university and howard university hospital has identified was that we have a large population of at-risk drinkers, substance abuse patients, and that we wanted to find a way to try to really help our population. we didn't have enough social workers or frontline people to do it. so what we had done was put together a proposal to train our residents. and samhsa was very helpful in that and provided us with a grant to train our residents and our staff about screening, brief intervention, and referral for treatment. so when a patient comes in on whatever service... they may not have come in for an alcohol or substance abuse problem, but the results of the discussion may have been screening that patient just to see, is this person at risk? and once you have done that, you really go through a process of educating the residents and staff about how you can have open-ended questions, affirmative listening, reflective listening, that really allows a person to open up and tell you what is going on. now we know physicians and health care personnel are very busy, so the

the cultural competency piece is a specific part of our know the risk sbirt program at howard university. we wanted to make sure that people understood that communicating to one group versus another may require some refinement. you may need to know where the people are coming from, what their background is, so we try to incorporate this through a web-based program, education as well as through lectures and didactics and role playing so that the residents actually get a chance to get a understanding. so, when they come and actually talk to the person, they have some sense of history of who this person may be and why they are. and maybe why they don't want to come and seek treatment. and how is that accepted among the folks that have been trained in the sbirt methodology? well, the sbirt methodology has, i would say, taken a great role in not only improving the way they communicate for sbirt but all communication. because they have to learn how to talk with patients of different cultures for many different reasons. it may not just be sbirt that they are talking about, but they take these s
