This article discusses an IPE SBIRT training model implemented with social work, medicine, pharmacy and nursing students that provided (a) education and training on SBIRT, (b) IPE experiences, and (c) clinical SBIRT application o…
A mixed-methods study of smoking attitudes and behaviors among dual-smoker stroke survivor-caregiver dyads
Although cigarette smoking is a major contributor to continued health problems after stroke, the majority of stroke survivors do not quit smoking. This may be due in part to the high rate of smoking among committed partners of stroke survivors. This study investigated the experiences of 11 dual-smoker stroke survivor-caregiver dyads, identifying themes which may be useful for understanding this entrenched population: managing the addiction as a d…

Students were surveyed on their experiences and indicated that peer review activities provid…
