Steering Committee Contact List

Discussion Summary:

To engage additional students to participate in the Steering Committee calls and discussions, several committee members will reach out to their contacts to invite students. NORC will begin recruitment for focus groups to work with Kognito on the simulation development. Faculty, students and practitioners will be recruited for in person focus groups and for an online review group. Announcements for recruitment will be sent out to the Learning Collaborative and Steering Committee.

Project branding is an ongoing agenda item. The project name will change to something more specific and unique than “Hilton Adolescent SBIRT.” NORC will send buzzwords and starting points to help draft names for the project. Another ongoing effort is tocreate a learner’s guide with activities, exercises and role play to help faculty integrate SBIRT into current curricula. NORC is collecting resources and materials to possibly share and use for this learner’s guide.
