Proposed goals and measurable objectives.
| Goals | Measurable objectives |
| Increase the capacity of primary care providers to provide SBIRTa to youth aged 9-20 years to reduce alcohol and opioid use and provide treatment or referral for those currently using these substances. | By the end of 2024, our team will have trained 20% of primary care providers in the 10-county catchment through Project ECHOb (n=120). This enables approximately 57,600 youth to be served by SBIRT over the proposed project timeline. |
| Increase the capacity of schools to provide SBIRT to youth aged 9-20 years to reduce alcohol use and opioid use and provide treatment and, if necessary, referral for those currently using these substances. | By the end of 2024, our team will have trained at least 20 school nurses within the 10-county catchment through Project ECHO. |
| Increase alcohol and substance use prevention resources and programs for primary care clinics and schools to distribute to youth and families. | By the end of 2024, at least 50% of school buildings and primary care clinics will have alcohol/substance use prevention toolkits available for youth and families. |
