Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Jennifer McNeely presents a webinar on screening for substance use in primary care. The webinar is presented on behalf of the SAMHSA-funded Providers Clinical Support System, which is operated collaboratively by 19 medical specialty organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association. Dr. McNeely discusses the importance of screening for substance use in primary care settings and introduces various screening tools that can be used. She focuses on the TAPS tool, a four-item screener developed to meet the needs of busy medical settings. The TAPS tool identifies unhealthy use of tobacco, alcohol, prescription drugs, and illicit drugs, and provides a score that indicates the level of problems related to use. Dr. McNeely also discusses alternative screening tools such as single-item screening questions and the audit/audit-C. She emphasizes the importance of using validated screening tools, ensuring privacy, and normalizing the screening process. Dr. McNeely concludes the webinar by highlighting the implementation considerations and providing resources for further information.
