“…Because of the effectiveness of SBIRT at decreasing alcohol use (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2015), SBIRT has been used to target attitudes about substance use (Puskar et al, 2013; Mitchell et al, 2016). For example, studies (e.g., Martinez, & Murphy-Parker, 2003; Mitchell et al, 2016; Puskar et al, 2013) on the implementation of SBIRT training in nursing curricula have revealed positive outcomes on the attitudes of nursing students toward working with patients who use AOD. However, these studies either (a) did not assess the stigma of the students toward working with patients who use AOD (Martinez, & Murphy-Parker, 2003; Puskar et al, 2013) or (b) indicated that the students’ willingness toward working with this population did not change or decreased after SBIRT training (Mitchell et al, 2016; Puskar et al, 2013).…”
