Abstract

Objectives : Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is a good example of community involvement model for substance and behavior addiction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the SBIRT model for intervention in schools and local child care centers. Methods : From March to October 2017, we surveyed 3,937 students attending schools in Nowon-gu, who were smartphone users. Among them, 180 students were regarded as a high-risk group for addiction and were enrolled in a short-term group intervention program with the permission of their parents. Results : After a short-term intervention program, a significant decrease in the smartphone dependence scale from 16.72 to 14.93 was observed. Male students showed a significant decrease from 17.53 to 15.12, but female students' scores revealed an insignificant decrease from 15.73 to 14.71. The effect of intervention by the school showed a significant decrease from 16.22 to 14.31 in elementary school students. A significant decrease was also present in middle school students whose scores declined from 18.50 to 15.88. Conclusion : We have demonstrated the efficacy of the SBIRT model in the local community in order to introduce evidence-based intervention program. In the future, it would be necessary to induce the healthy use of smartphones in adolescents by appropriate intervention through continuous policy-making and funding.
