Start-up costs of implementing Screening and Brief Intervention (SBI) for Adolescents (part of Economics of SBI symposium)

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Background Understanding the costs to implement SBI is important for providers in planning resource needs, and for decision makers considering widespread implementation of SBI. Unfortunately, little is known about the initial costs to start an SBI program. The objective is to estimate the start-up costs of two models of SBI delivery to adolescents in primary health care settings: BI delivered by a behavioral health specialist (specialist model) and BI delivered by a primary care provider (generalist model).
