“Our mission is to eliminate health disparities and improve the quality of life of American Indians and Alaska Natives by supporting Northwest Tribes in their delivery of culturally appropriate, high quality healthcare.”

• Pilot and evaluate SBIRT in IHS or Tribal facility. Screening tools for SBIRT exist in RPMS and can be made for other EHRs
• For tribes who choose to develop their own SBIRT model and program, work with NPAIHB team to pilot and evaluate other screening tools.
• Integrate SBIRT or other substance use and wellness screeners into justice programs, which may include: Oregon Measure 110 programming, Healing to Wellness Courts etc.
• Other ideas, with appropriate justification, may also be considered by NPAIHB Behavioral Health Program for approval.
