Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention for Youth: A Practitioner's Guide

If you manage the health and well-being of 9- to 18-year-olds, this Guide is for you.

“Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention for Youth: A Practitioner’s Guide” is designed to help health care professionals quickly identify youth at risk for alcohol-related problems. NIAAA developed the Guide and Pocket Guide in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics, a team of underage drinking researchers and clinical specialists, and practicing health care professionals.

Why use this tool?

• It can detect risk early: In contrast to other screens that focus on established alcohol problems, this early detection tool aims to help you prevent alcohol-related problems in your patients before they start or address them at an early stage.
   
• It’s empirically based: The screening questions and risk scale, developed through primary survey research, are powerful predictors of current and future negative consequences of alcohol use.
   
• It’s fast and versatile: The screen consists of just two questions, which can be incorporated easily into patient interviews or pre-visit screening tools across the care spectrum, from annual exams to urgent care.
   
• It’s the first tool to include friends’ drinking: The “friends” question will help you identify patients at earlier stages of alcohol involvement and target advice to include the important risk of friends’ drinking.

SoBe Sober: Underage Drinking Prevention

SoBe Sober is an Underage Drinking Prevention initiative helping the students of today live to become the healthy and productive adults of tomorrow by educating them on the dangers and effects of underage drinking.
In partnership with D-FY-IT, a local non-profit organization, this campaign is designed to combat underage drinking among Miami Dade and Broward County students through education, outreach and celebrity sponsorship endorsement programs.

The SoBe Sober program is being implemented under the leadership of Barbara Zohlman, Executive Director of D-FY-IT, a Miami-based non-profit that has developed many effective, award-winning programs aimed at both middle- and high-school-level students to alert them to the dangers of underage drinking.

SoBe Sober's multi media outreach uses public service advertising and peer to peer communication to encourage students to pursue a healthy, productive, alcohol free life style during Spring Break and throughout the year.
This website contains information for parents and friends to share in an effort to keep our young people safe from this public health hazard. We encourage you to review this information and make your commitment to help young friends and relatives follow a healthy, alcohol free life style.

This year, SoBe Sober is proud to have its first title sponsor, Southern Wine and Spirits of America, Inc. join us in educating students on the alternatives to illegal underage drinking and wants to thank Southern for their support and partnership.
