Abstract

 Transgender young adults are at higher risk for alcohol and substance
 use that could lead to other health and mental health complications.
 Utilization of the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment
 (SBIRT) model might be effective to identify members of this
 minority community at risk for alcohol and substance use, provide
 early interventions for those not meeting diagnostic criteria, and link
 them to care. A tailored, peer-based approach to universal screening
 with SBIRT could offer affirming experiences for transgender young
 adults to openly discuss substance use within unique practice settings
 such as the house/ball community. In addition to examining health
 and mental health challenges faced by transgender young adults,
 implications for the field of social work practice, research, and education
 are discussed related to utilization of SBIRT with this minority
 population, along with providing a relevant case scenario.
