Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to provide a simulated experience demonstrating the methods (Motivational Interviewing, MI) that elicit change talk using Brief Negotiated Intervention (BNI) with a specific audience.
Instructions
This assignment is comprised of the parts which are all completed in this week:
• SBIRT Interview (with family volunteer)
• Summary and reflection paper

The sections below detail the requirements for each assignment part.


Part A – Interview
Work with one member of your volunteer family in order to demonstrate the methods of Motivational Interviewing (MI) to elicit change talk utilizing Brief Negotiated Intervention (BNI) with a client.

The chosen family member will play the part of the client, using one of the vignettes provided with this assignment, and you will play the part of the social worker in the situation, setting a context and then assessing the clients using the AUDIT and/or DAST.

SBIRT Vignettes:
• Carlos
• Juan
• Maria

The goal is to screen the client for substance use problems or at-risk use and determine his or her level of risk. Once this is determined, you will share with the client his/her score and zone, as well as the low-risk guidelines for their gender and age group.

Watching the SBIRT PowerPoint presentations and the Audit Screening videos below may be useful:
• SBIRT AUDIT Screening
• AUDIT Substance Abuse Screening Intake
• Full Video: SBIRT for alcohol / drugs with adolescents


Part B – Summary & Reflection Paper
Submit a short, one-page paper, summarizing your interview. Organize the paper in two paragraphs:
• Identify your client’s score on the assessment(s) used and what level of risk the score represents;
• Reflect on how it felt to be in the role of the social worker and how comfortable you felt using the assessment tools.
