Public Health Model: Disease can be understood and treated by understanding the interaction of the Agent, Environment, and Host.
Risk Model: Hazard x Exposure = Risk
Conflation: Hazard(Alcohol) x Exposure (Environment) = Risk (Host)
Science Perspective
New Models Review How Applied
Selection Bias Model
Where to put extra armor?Collect and study evidence.
Put the armor where there is no damage. Abraham Wald (Livio, 2013)
Change by Talking Model● Combat Demoralization (Define Demoralization)● Emotionally Charged Confiding Relationship (Inform)● Rationale (Model to explain Acute & Chronic outcomes)● Rituals (Specific Directions to Change or Maintain)● Healing setting ( With Peers in Classroom)● Opportunities for new learning (Outside the Classroom)
(Frank, 1998)
Communications Model Risk Communications: A Mental Model Approach was
investigated. (2002, Morgan et al) Morgan et al with the help of several grants including grant IU19AI 38513 from The National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, created a text book to generate Mental Models to deliver and measure interventions to people with limited time, energy and attention.
The focus here is on change in risk comprehension and response. The authors point out this perspective creates a common method for treating diverse problems. It is the ignorance of or mistaken beliefs about risk that is intervened on. Morgan et al defines risk communications as “communication intended to supply laypeople with the information they need to make informed independent judgments about risks to health, safety, and the environment.
Cont’D However, Morgan cautions “Better
understanding cannot guarantee changes in behavior; those depend on how people perceive benefits as well as risks, and on their resources and constraints.”
Education Model (Ambrose et al., 2010) Student’s prior knowledge can help or hinder learning. How students organize knowledge influences how they learn and apply what they know. Students’ motivation determines, directs and sustains what they do to learn. To develop mastery, students must acquire component skills, practice integrating them, and
know when to apply what they have learned. Goal-directed practice coupled with targeted feedback enhances the quality of students
learning. Students’ current level of development interacts with the social, emotional, and intellectual
climate of the course to impact learning. To become self-directed learners, students must learn to monitor and adjust their approaches
to learning.
No Assessment like Self Assessment
● Introduce Ambivalence – might have an issue● Increase discrepancy (remove Ambivalence) – I
have an issue● Encourage Low Risk – keep doing the right thing● Lower Resistance to Tx – where do I get help?

IfWe could provide a 100% cure to every substance
dependent person in the United States we wouldn’t be close to solving most of the substance related
problems in our country.
21(O’Neil, 2012)
The SBIRT Concept SBIRT uses a public health approach to universal
screening for substance use problems. SBIRT provides:
Immediate rule out of non-problem users; Identification of levels of risk; Identification of patients who would benefit from brief advise,
and; Identification of patients who would benefit from higher levels of
care. Progressive levels of clinical interventions based on need and
motivation for change.
22
Screening does not provide a diagnosis. Screening does provide immediate rule-out of no risk/low risk users. Screening does provide immediate identification of level of risk. There are 2 levels of screening:
Universal. Targeted.
There are 4 types of intervention: Feedback. Brief Intervention. Extended Brief Intervention or Brief Treatment. Referral to a higher level of care.
Let’s Review
Let’s Review SBIRT is a systems change initiative requiring us to re-
conceptualize, re-define, and re-design our entire approach to substance use problems and services.
SBIRT uses a public health approach. The current model defines the problem as dependence. The SBIRT model defines the problem as excessive use. SBIRT recognizes a continuum of substance use behavior, a
continuum of substance use problems, and a continuum of substance use interventions.

What influences perception?
Risk Factors
(Ropeik 2010)
The human brain over the last 100,000 years is remarkable for Fear and Risk perception calculations. Problem: We don’t live in caves anymore…
1. Feeling (Gut), very fast, uses predetermined rules, very decisive.
Two Brain Theory: Risk Factors start here.
2. Logic (Head) very accurate, not very fast or influential. Rational
Judgment comes from Gut; Head rationalizes.
The power of Gut A ball and bat cost $1.10 together. The bat cost $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
Power of Head x + (x +1) = $1.10 2x + 1 = $1.10 2x = $.10 X = .05

What influences Risk Perception? Risk Factors – usually keeps us safe – can result in Risk Perception Gaps.
(Ropeik 2010)
Risk Factor Principles Each factor can increase or decrease fear. (Breakthrough) Many factors combine in a given situation. Biases are other inputs Risk Perception Factors are universal but not the same
dependent on personal experience.
(Ropeik 2010)
The answers lead to a new model
What influences perception?Risk Factors: #1 Risk /Benefit#2 Good Bad#3 New Familiar#4 Social Proof#5 Commitment
(2012) Reyna
Risk Factors explain whyPerception is Powerful in Lifestyle Choices.
#1 RISK / BENEFIT
Low Risk
Good
If familiar or new and perception “feels” good…
Then benefits increase as risk is perceived as low.
The opposite is also true and involves fear of loss
#2 GOOD / BAD
Evolution’s answer to Google. How to sort and survive too much Info
Remember driving the first time?
#3 NEW / FAMILIAR
What’s important? Is it new?
Everything else – Habituation (off switch) Survival Mechanism
Social Proof (not peer pressure) Social proof is a type of conformity. When a person is in a situation where
they are unsure of the correct way to behave, they will often look to others for cues concerning the correct behavior. When "we conform because we believe that other's interpretation of an ambiguous situation is more accurate than ours and will help us choose an appropriate course of action,"[1] it is informational social influence. This is contrasted with normative social influence wherein a person conforms to be liked or accepted by others.

The Educator was great and very strong to stand and give a testimony
This has been an eye opener as far as my issues w/alcohol. I have been aware of my issues and problems w/drinking, but this has been very revealing as to some the reasons.
I drink and use amphetamines on a weekly basis. I don't find it a necessity but definitely a very strong want. I want to slow down eventually.
The 4 stages really helped me realize that I may have a bigger problem than I thought + I could really relate to a lot of the mental processes described in the addiction cycle.
This presentation opened my eyes. I like the speaker's use of personal experience.
While the presentation is helpful and does encourage thoughtful decision making, it only seems like it'll reach stages 0-2 because 3&4 probably will deny having a problem & be dismissive.

High Risk Comments
I feel that is something that is important for all college students to know. Educator knew what he was talking about very well. I would make it on an easier level so people don't get as bored and pay more attention.
Thank you for being so informative, I'm going to change some of my habits.
The 70% of death being low risk is scary. I had so many drinks that other night my room mate turned me on my side B4 threw up & probably saved my life. Thank you.
It's interesting to know that most people who are harmed by alcohol are those that are not necessarily addicted
I am a member of a fraternity and drinking is synonymous with Greek life so it's hard to be a member and not get hammered every weekend.
This helped me open my eyes to see the truth about alcohol and drug used / abuse. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me, and help me become aware of the effects and the future effects this usage withholds. Heart shape.
You helped me understand me ten times better and the risks I am at. Thank you for helping me out.
I have had a family member at stage 4 and this presentation helped me better understand what he is/was going through
Stages most helpful. Good presentation. I learned a lot of new things.
Good presentation. Made me think more about what I do.
Very interesting - enjoyed learning more into this concept. Better understanding on my part. I like to think I am responsibleThis was a nice presentation.
Some Risk Comments
This was fantastic, thank youvery good presentationI enjoyed learning about the processes of addiction on a deeper level .
The examples and explanations were helpful and created a better and unique understanding.This was a very informal talk. I enjoyed the information shared
Great for freshman, allowing them to be aware of the consequences of having "fun" without limits.
Lecture was helpful on understanding the evolutionary reason behind addiction. How the brain works.
Lecture was informative and helpful in understanding how our brains work and the process of addiction.
It was helpful to see the concept of how people become addicted and risk factors of addiction.
I wasn't a smoker until I came to campus, made some friends, and picked up the habit. I know its bad, yet I still do it. Over all the presentation was well constructed and the speaker did a phenomenal job. Very good presentation. I hope that all learning communities see this presentation.All freshmen must know this information about addictions.
