SBIRT Proficiency Checklist- Short Form
The SBIRT Proficiency Checklist Validation Study (PERU, 2014) concluded that the Short-Form Proficiency Checklist was valid in the assessment of SBIRT fidelity. This tool is a simple 13 question checklist separated into five categories: Screening (3 items), Brief Intervention (4 items), Referral to Treatment (2 items), Follow-Up (1 item), and Motivational Interviewing Spirit (3 items). This checklist was designed to be completed by a reviewer (observer) who determines whether the 13 components of the SBIRT process were present (or not present) in the SBIRT session.
