The Brief Screener for Tobacco, Alcohol and other Drugs (BSTAD) and Screening to Brief Intervention (S2BI) are two, validated tools that help clinicians screen adolescents for substance use in under two minutes. In this short video, Dr. Geetha Subramaniam from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) discusses the differences between BSTAD and S2BI and how a provider can choose which of the two tools to use. She also explains the difference between universal and targeted screening, and shares information about considerations for confidentiality among teen patients.
