Screening and Intervention for Youth in Primary Care Settings: National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) invites grant applications for the conduct of health services research to expand the role of primary care in the prevention and treatment of problem drug use, abuse, and related health problems among youth in the pre-dependency phase of drug abuse, with specific emphasis on marijuana use (alone or in combination with nicotine, alcohol, and other drugs of abuse). This request for applications (RFA) seeks to build on recent efforts to address problematic alcohol and nicotine use in primary care settings in order to similarly expand the availability and delivery of efficacious drug abuse interventions. Thus, applications are encouraged that propose to: (a) develop, modify, or test efficacious drug use/abuse screens or assessments to be embedded into more comprehensive behavioral health screening/assessment instruments for use with youth in primary care settings; (b) develop, modify, or test brief behavioral prevention and treatment interventions for use with youth in primary care settings; and (c) test methods for integrating drug abuse screening, assessment, and brief prevention and treatment interventions into primary care. For the purposes of this RFA, the term youth is intended to include all individuals within the age range of 12 to 24 years. The term primary care setting is defined broadly to include all outpatient clinics (public and/or private) and private practices that offer office-based general medical care. These clinics and practices are staffed by allopathic or osteopathic physicians often with other health care providers such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, or behavioral health practitioners typically within the following categories: pediatrics, adolescent medicine, internal medicine, general medicine, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology. Not included in this RFA are the following care settings: emergency rooms, acute care facilities, chronic care facilities, and addiction treatment facilities.
