The purpose of this assessment is to explain the data collection methods and instruments for your project . As you collect data for your project, take care not to deviate from your IRB-approved plan. You may not change your data collection methods without IRB approval. Similarly, it is imperative that you follow your IRB-approved doctoral project proposal/research plan as you collect your data. Failure to do so is considered noncompliance and may result in sanctions; typically, the IRB will not let you use any data collected. Introductory content before any Level 1 headings. It might be useful to provide some brief background information on your project and its context. This section is a summary of your project as it will be added to your final paper. This information should only be two or three paragraphs at most. Design and Instrumentation Explain the project design and the methods you used for collecting data. Explains the design of the doctoral project, supporting design choices with reference to the literature or best practices. Explains IRB-approved data collection methods for the doctoral project, illustrating how collection methods align with project design.The methods you describe must be reliable and have been previously approved by the IRB. If you used any tools or instruments (SBIRT - AUDIT), explain their validity and reliability, citing support from the literature as relevant. If an external tool was used, note the permission to use the tool and cite the tool appropriately. Any internal tools proven valid and reliable should be submitted in an appendix. Formative Evaluation (if applicable) Confounding Variables (if applicable) Follow APA format, everything must have in-text citation, all references must have doi,  Do not use personal opinion or adjectives, as per my professor that is bias As per the MAT Manager, The referral rate in Banyan Health System is obtained by external sources using direct call, there are no policy or process established for the providers to screen and then refer patients to MAT in Banyan Health System. That is the main reason why we are implementing this project, to increase the referral to MAT by the Community mental health providers. So at this point the referral rate to MAT by providers is Zero (0), only those patient that request Alcohol medication as (Vivitrol or Naltrexone) or come from outside Banyan (external referral) will have an appointment scheduled for an MAT evaluation. Will attach the other documents and the Data recollected (6 weeks of implementation from the 12 weeks planned) the providers training and pre training test and post training test data will be in the excel documented submitted. A pre training test was applied to the 7 providers, then the live training using a power point presentation with group discussion was done and a post training test was applied.  The SBIRT was implemented: Screening - 1) Pre Screening Question (Do you consume alcohol?) to all patients, those with a positive response apply the AUDIT Screening, according to the score the provider will do a Brief intervention regarding Alcohol use Disorder, risks and consequences (medical, emotional, social and mental health) and then will decide if a referral to MAT is required. We recommend to all AUDIT Screening positive with a score higher than 16 points to do the referral to MAT, but it the referral also is related to the providers decision and patient's acceptance.
