As a primary care provider, Clinical Tools would like to invite you to participate in an assessment review of our NIDA funded program. Compensation is available!

We are developing a program about screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for alcohol, tobacco, and drug use problems in a project titled "Web-based Skills Training for PCPs on SBIRT" (NIDA contract #HHSN271200900036C). The training is primarily for primary care providers. Our goal is to enhance the universality, efficiency, and effectiveness of SBIRT clinical skills in primary care.

You would complete a pre-assessment, take the 4 on-line training modules, including a unique interactive clinical component for practicing clinical skills, and then complete a post-assessment and a follow-up. To acknowledge the time you spend on the assessments a compensation of $30 for each completed assessment is available. (You would be paid a total of $90 for completion of all 3 assessments). The letter of completion of the program that is provided says that the program is designated for 4 AMA PRA Category 1 credits (TM).
