Commentary on Kim et al. (2017): Staying focused on non-treatment seekers

Steven J Ondersma et al. Addiction. 2017 May.

Negative results for screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) trials continue to build. These findings should accelerate rather than suppress research regarding how best to identify and intervene proactively with non-treatment seeking samples.

Keywords: Addiction treatment; brief intervention; drug use; primary care; technology.
