Resources and Reports

Mosaic Group’s Adolescent SBIRT Checklist (ASC) is a tool designed to provide organizations with a set of critical steps that will help ensure that Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) becomes a sustainable, integrated part of routine care.

This tool is based on our successful experience implementing and integrating SBIRT services into a variety of care settings. The steps contained in this checklist have been found to be essential in order to achieve optimal, sustainable SBIRT implementation. The ASC provides organizations with an implementation structure that allows for customization of a protocol that is unique to a variety of practice settings and clinical and staffing models.

Special thanks to our co-partner for supporting this work: The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation was created in 1944 by international business pioneer Conrad N. Hilton, who founded Hilton Hotels and left his fortune to help the world’s disadvantaged and vulnerable people. The Foundation currently conducts strategic initiatives in six priority areas: providing safe water, ending chronic homelessness, preventing substance use, helping children affected by HIV and AIDS, supporting transition-age youth in foster care, and extending Conrad Hilton’s support for the work of Catholic Sisters.
