Summary

This study tests whether a program called SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) can help people reduce risky alcohol and drug use. About 400 adults visiting family planning clinics will either get SBIRT or usual care. Researchers will track changes in drinking, drug use, and related health outcomes over three months.

Active substance: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a practical way to help people reduce risky alcohol and drug use during their reproductive years, improving overall health and well-being.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively early-stage study with 400 participants, and the intervention is behavioral, so results may vary. It may not show a strong effect or be easily adopted in all clinics.
